Anyone in here got this in your car?

HAHAHAHAHA just a stupid gimmick, supposed to make your air/fuel mixture burn better.

It's been scientifically proven to be pure BS, even reducing performance due to the extra airflow restriction is creates.

in other words, don't bother!

I run 5 of them. They give me 12 HP a piece and sound like a turbo.

one of my friend bought on for his 05 tiburon and since then his check engine light is on....dealer told him it's because the air flow sensor ( I am not a tech guy) is freaking out....besides that, no changes on the performance...

ahhh the always sought after never found.... flux capacitor a true gem in its own right... haha nah its just a gimmick the theory is that air travelling in a vortex creates more of a suction making the air velocity higher. however the piece also slows down the airflow by causing a lot of drag.

I had it once on my RSX, it did absolutely nothing other than turn on my engine light also, same thing with the sensor, so i just took it out! :)
