Funny this came up. I had a situation about 4 or 5 years ago where a guy brought this thing called the tornado to work and wanted it installed. It was a spacer and it claimed that it funnelled the air in such a way that it produced better mpg and hp. I thought it was the dumbest thing I had ever heard of. The funny part of this story is that he installed this on a PT cruiser that had flames down each side of the car.

I wonder if he knew how to spell the brand of the wheels he had on his own flame-mobile? (ENKEI)
I appreciate the input

If you just scroll down, you can post your problem on the Steeda Thread. Gus who is a manager in Pompano Beach monitors that site and will answer you.

I should probably go on the website for Mothers car wax and a few others and post how much RWHP and torque I gain after waxing my car.

The funny idle was from the crack in the intake, unaccounted air not going by the MAF...

You probably should do that since you need to talk smack somewhere. Like I said I posted this up so that others who are about to buy it could see it and think twice which is why I posted the pics because guess what? Everywhere you it's nice reviews versus bad feedbacks on the forums-- no one actually posted any dyno sheets that I know of that prove anything or any pictures that show the consequences. I already admitted that buying it was a mistake on my side, what more do you want? In other words the reason was not so that I could hear a bunch of DUMB *** SARCASTIC COMMENTS and maybe it's because of idiots who make them people don't admit to buying this garbage and others never get to find out about it? Trust me, no one who reads this threat is going to appreciate or find your input valuable with your unfinished mothers car wax review so if you have anything better to do go jack off to some gay **** or even better-- find a g/f so you can stop acting like internet Dave Chapelle and go entertain somebody in person.
