Wait for the Turbonator tripple turbo to hit the market. It adds 200whp and installs in seconds! All this can be yours for three easy payments of $19.95, but if you act now, they will throw in a 4th turbo for free.

Seriously though, save your $17 and put it towards a short antenna, it will add just as much gas mileage and horsepower.

You want to do a group buy on a $17 item? What were you thinking of getting it down to? $15?

Well, in theory it should give a little bit more HP (like 1HP) and slightly better mileage. Airflow will go sightly faster and take curves more easily.

But of course they had to come up wth those ridiculous claims...

The feedback guy is double stupid. 1. for buying it and 2 for installing it wrong. See how he says "for a flat piece of metal" ? I bet he didn't fold the fins out (enough) or put it in the wrong direction...

The weird thing is they've been selling those things forever, somebody must be buying them cause their stil selling them.
