Whoever said you get what you pay for is wrong in this case. You pay 60$ and you get a 10% DECREASE in performance and gas milage. For 60$ get a CAI, or save for someting else..

The turbonator was designed for cars with external intake snorkals. Put it inside of the exhaust bearings Right by the main battery bolt. Cant miss it theyre all in the same spot on 2 stroked 5.0's

I actually saw that DONKEY on a car show on ESPN. They were showing the "new" products of 2006. He was chinese and probabbly produced his "turbonator" for about $6.00 and is selling it for 60.00 in the states.....

If it sits in the path of the air and DOES NOT MOVE surely its only RESTRICTING AIR!!!
