This is a joke right??? All these things do is make it cound cool unless you have a carbed engine(which would still see minimal improvements). I mean, i guess it cant hurt, it could barely help if youve got $160 to blow on paperwieghts

good point on the carbed engine... some swear by these products, others think they are a joke. i really want to know if someone (other than the mfng) has actually tried them and seen a difference in performance.

...who knows, next i'll be asking about putting magnets on the fuel line haha

Like i said, it cant hurt, but i could see better improvements with $160 than that. Put that money towards a programmer or tuner if you want good improvements

I've got one and its pretty much a noise making paper weight. its funny though cause people hear me get on the gas pedal and think I have a turbo but its not even close to a turbo. Don't waste your money

you would be better of just sending me $160. At least you know exactly what will happen to the money.
