Decided that I should share this. Today I went to clean my MAF and I'm glad I did. This is what I found lodged sideways inside the intake tube...



Never would have guessed it was there, been that way since I got the truck. My father in-law was the PO and he had this thing for buying eBay gimmick products. If this thing really gives you any hp it's after you take it back out...

The idea behind it makes sense but I have never heard of anybody sing it praises of mileage or power increases.

Ha ha that's funny, I found the tornado in my intake tube when I went to clean my MAS after I bought my truck a year ago.

Great now you have to tear apart your whole truck and find all the as-seen-on-tv crap out of it.
