so i (unfortunately) went to my local peps boys on my hunt for a new battery the other day, and amongst all the ricer lights and SiR badges and crap there was a little display of these things called the "Tornado." I stopped and looked at them (64.99) and all they are is a little round piece with some angled sheet metal that supposedly twists the air going into your throttle body (you fit the "Tornado" into your air inlet between the MAF and the throttle body). anyways, these things look like a total gimmick to me and i'm sure they don't make any noticeable horsepower, but i couldn't help but be curious after reading their claims in MPG increases. They were claiming 10-20% increases in gas mileage on the display sign and showed before/after MPG figures of like 5 cars (the only two i remember are the camry and the grand marquis). i've seen them in catalogs before but always disregarded them, but now i'm curious. anyone use them? are they just a total gimmick like i think they are? if they actually work, i wouldn't mind picking up a couple extra MPG's........ if nothing else, i'll just head back to the store and buy myself some sweet NOS seat covers and some bolt on aluminum double stack wings! *drools* lol......thanks guys
p.s. i actually saw a jeep wrangler with those nasty NOS seat covers today!!!!! yuck...
