Looks kinda like the old cyclone thing i used to see on tv, from what ive heard that thing was junk so i figure this is probably just like it. Anyways, anyone ever try it? Claims up to 35 hp increase, and 20 percent more gas mileage.

How do you plan on getting a power or milage increase by putting a restriction in your air intake. If you just take a second to think, restrction=less flow=less power=less milage, its that simple. Even if that thing does swirl the air in your intake by the time it hits the throttle body do you really think it will still be spinning? If you see something like this, it is to good to be true.

Dont waste your money. When buying car parts, you get what you pay for.

Are there any parts that actually help gas mileage?
