its more than just bs. imo its false advertising and should be (i thought it was) illegal. i feel sorry for the poor sap that sinks $70 in that pos. it says it works like a turbo but with that simple setup there is no way that it could create the necessary amount of fi to produce any gains in hp,tq,mpg,etc. in addition, if it were to increase the amount of air entering the intake manifold it would require a mod to the amount of fuel entering the cylinder (ie fuel/air ratios). this is the biggest joke product ever, or at least one of the biggest ever. ive seen several people ask the same question on several 350z forums, but please dont believe their idiotic hype.

With new intake, exhaust, headers, internals, and slight modifications to the product of course.

ZERO fits in the up to 35 hp range. Pure marketing BS but they can get away with it as long as they honor the money back guaranty. They make money by figuring most people will be too ashamed or lazy to bother asking for their money back. Even then they probably make money on the shipping.

If something sounds too good to be true it probably is. I could go into detail ripping apart each one of their claims but it's not worth wasting the electrons. Caveat emptor.

The blades on that fan is made of cheap aluminum material that over a short time will break of and go directly into your intake manifold creating lots of HP gains!!!!!! Trust me I’ve seen it happen and this 16 year old with this Civic was so pleased he was crying for a week!!! hehehehe

These things have been out for years. They had them back in the 60s and 70s for motorcycles when intakes weren't deisgned very well. However, with the advances in OEM intakes, you won't see any gain. Anything you feel is probably in your head.

Basically what these are are a piece of curved metal that sits in your intake right after the filter. This metal has fins on it which cause the air flow to "spiral". If you are thinking this is a replacement for a supercharger, you are crazy. There is no way you're gonna get anywhere near the amount of power a SC gives (but, hey, you don't need a need hood either). Anyways, if you're thinking about spending $70, you'll get more horsepower out of an intake manufactured by a racing company, not a piece of metal bent in some guy's garage.
