Have any of you guys seen the infomercial, for the Tornado Air Managegment System? It looks like a little fan that installs in your intake in less than 5 minutes, and adds 4-13hps, and 7-24% gas mileage performance!it also fits on any car! It sounds great i was wondering what your take on its is?? thanks

If it sounds too good to be true? It probably is... Search google, I think there's some test done on it.... Personally, don't waste your money...

I think it is bs too. It is a piece of plastic that goes after your air filter. I say the infomercial and they said if helps air "flow out exhaust quicker" by the cyclone it produces from behind the air filter, but the cycling effect is lost once it goes into the engine. I hope that all makes sense.

Yeah, that thing has been around is worthless. In all honesty, the thing ends up adding more air resistance and probably cause a loss of power.

these air swirlers are BS. the concept is right on but they don't work in the real world. if you want a cheap and easy intake modification, get a phenolic intake spacer....poweraid makes them for a lot of american engines and they've been great in my car. 5-8hp (estimate) and i get better mileage too. not bad for $100.
