Is there another article on this? I it looks like all they are doing is extending the path of the air into the intake.

I could understand the application on a carbed setup but not on a MPFI setup. The vortex it claims to create (which would help decrease droplet size in a carbed setup) would have no real effect in our manifolds since the fuel injectors are placed along the runners of the manifold and fuel atomization occurs there, not in the main chamber. Sounds like complete bullshit to me.

they have another lil bullshit toy that spose to give "UP TO" 25% better HP/TQ and gas mileage....its the Tornado or something...i never really understood it tho (basically same setup as this thing but its just a circl thing with fins to spin the air like a tornado) i mean the air will spin but then it slams int the back of the intake manifold....stopping the vortex...too bad they dont have like a 30day risk free return it if u dont like it trial or i would give it a shot and have them do a free dyno run for u to show u it really does that....but hey thats marketing for ya...i should ask my friend tho he put one on his stealth
