Default Sequel to the Tornado intake...

I love their example!! Not to mention their "sample installation on a "NOS Vette"

It says they'll refund you 110% too...?

Amazing, isn't it, how plugging up your intake with that thing will magically change the gears so the car doesn't have to turn the same rpm's as it use to to go 65?

Trouble is, some people will believe that.

oh...I did...thought about getting 2, because...you know..the discount.

Actually, it seems that it'd be possible to rip them off as easily as they rip people off! Just buy two at once, return one (for 110% or whatever that bullshit is) and have your friend return the other! Thats like +5 HP at the shoez from ripping them off!

There now way you could ever sell me on the fact that a little piece of jagged aluminum around the outside perimeter of my carburetor, nowhere near the venturi, could change my airflow at all. It's truely amazing that someone would buy this crap.

take it to a dyno, test your HP before hand, install then test it again, and tell us if you get any HP imporvements!!!! That things is like VTEC yo!!!

or you can tell them to give you 110% of your money back, and see if they even do that, i bet that extra 10% is just to cover your shipping costs, so youll just end up breaking even, but at least they lose money on the scam
