Default Fake Supercharger

I am a member of consumer reports and they had an article which flat out said that those things like the tornado that suppossedly mix the air and fuel better don't work. THey tried it on multiple cars and said no hp increase and no fuel economy increase. Flat out a waste of money. So don't believe their lies. I would link it but you all aren't members. Just thought I would save someone who has thought about it some money. Also I don't want to hurt the ads by google at the bottom of almost all of these pages. It is jsut I thought about getting one. Nothing for 30 bucks gives you 35 hp adn a 50% increase in mileage. At least nothing that i know of.

if something like that worked it would simply sell itself. If something seems too good to be true it most likely is.

Amen to that. I took one look at those and realized they were crap. Almost reminds me of a certain system that supposedly sprays gas into your opponents intake and slows their car down =D

As I said many times before, you can weld the tornado into your exhaust tip...swirling exhaust is the most you're gonna get out of it.

Tell me about it. If someone sprayed anything at my car, CO2 or not, I would personally get out and attempt to discombobulate them with a rusty spoon.

What about throttle body spacers? They remind me of the same thing. Anyone had any experience with em? Do they actually do anything? Here's a few links:
