Default Tornado KI-85

from Summit:

Air Filter Inlet Inserts, Tornado, Stainless Steel, Naturally Aspirated, 3.375 in. Diameter, 1.50 in. Height.

The easiest way to get dramatic fuel savings and improved horsepower!
The Tornado is a revolutionary device designed to enhance fuel economy. The Tornado is a non-moving, turbine-shaped device, which creates a vortex or swirling effect to the engine. The result is improved airflow into the engine's combustion chamber, causing a more efficient mixture between air and fuel. The Tornado will work in either a carbureted or electronic fuel injected engine. The Tornado's unique airflow dynamics create a swirling, fast-burn effect in the combustion chamber. This creates finer particles (atomized fuel), allowing better flame propagation and more complete combustion. Tornado causes better fuel atomization, resulting in gas mileage increases averaging 1 to 2 mpg. These figures are confirmed by road testing performed at an emissions lab licensed by the EPA. The Tornado requires no maintenance and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty. Installation is accomplished in three easy steps and usually takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
Do you guys think this device actually works?

ohhhhh man....i cant believe someone just made a "does the tornado work" post.

lol they did tests on this thing and found it actually makes you LOSE hp, and RESTRICTS air flow.

im sure if you ran a search on these forums you would find a TON of info on it. negative info....but info non the less.

they do actually spin the air through your intake cleanly and efficently(obviously its not making any boost), but the second it hits your intake manifold the airflow is distored there for giveing you no performance.
