sorry to tell ya, but those are a scam. Did you already buy it? See if you can get a refund. Glad you like the site, it really is very helpful!

I remember a few folks in the F150 forumstried it and claimed that itdid save them gas...but not in the way you'd expect. Apparently they would punch the gas but the engine wouldn't rev or respond as it should have or expected. Their theory was that the piece of metal just blocked the air coming in (instead of pushing more air in like the manufacturers claim), thereby, saving gas because their trucks went slower...hehe...In any case, I think if the so called swirling effect thatthese thingssupposedly create really worked, throttle body spacers would actually helpour vehicles, which most folks here agree they don't...

Sad to think that these companies and sellers stay in business and keep coming up with these scams because there are people out there who seriouslythink they work and buy the products....

Lmao, listen bro, you bought the "chip" and now the "tornado". You need to check us out before you waste any more money man. I don't know how many more scams there are out there but you've knocked out the two main ones lol.

Hey, I have seen it displayed in person with a flow bench and
smoke and it really worked to break up the airflow and slow it down
causing decreased performance and subsequentally better gas mileage.
Then I woke up from the trance and realized it the best scam to prove
in person.

LMAO DON'T... Not even the throttle body spacers work really either. You'd be better off buying a kick a$$ air freshener for your car.
