Default "tornado"

Has any one heard of the "tornado"?? I was just wondering if it's worth the $60 it is to buy one at auto zone. Does it really improve gas milage and increase horse power(which if it does,it wouldn't be much I would think)? Just looking for word of mouth

I would buy it now but my stang is in storage until the snow melts and the salt is washed off the roads so I wouldn't be able to try it out until April or so[:@] I was hoping somebody in a warmer climate would be able to tell me something about what kind -- if any--performance they got out of it By the way,nice mustang StangTang[sm=smiley20.gif]

I don't know, autozone is kind of a ricer wannabe parts store, check to see if Discount or NAPA carries something like that, they are REAL parts stores...

Well a Tornado is a Tornado, no matter if it comes from pep-boys or auto Zone, they also have something I have seen on the net and in mags called the turbonator, it is the same basic design and idea. Don't know if they really work, and don't really want to waste the time myself to try it. Anyone else wanna?

Try the hurricane by yomahuttan, 1 works like 3 tornados, plus they absorb water when it rains

Didn't HotRod Magazine have an article about the Tornado a while back? Someone see if they can find that article.

I heard the Tornado sucked because after a little while the fins would break off and get sucked into the intake.I don't want to take that chance.
