so today im at autozone and this guy tries selling me out on this tornado thing that goes up in ur intake boot and its like curved and SUPPOSEDLY supposed to spin the air and create this tornado effect to make ur intake suck in alot more air than it already does. I can see HOW it can work but i dont kno its its worth the 60 bucks . He also told me you'll see improved gas milege and hp (5-10) but i didnt believe that shyt. What do u guys think??

Yeah Tornado Air is such bull. It doesnt do sh#$, Its suppose to funnel the air through your throttle body, but I really think it doesnt work, so dont waste your time or money on it.

Wow.... Am I glad I saw this post , and to think I was going to spend $3500 for a supercharger one day when I could just put 10 of these inline and get the same effect! LOL I feel sorry for all those fools who bought superchargers and turbo's!

I hear the tornado actually works on some older vehicles, but I havn't seen any proof yet. Here is a guy with a beretta who tested it on the dyno:

When I used to frequent the 3rd gen forum MrGone had made a Tornado with a pop-can, he'd probably sell it to you for $35.99 if you want to try it out



Here's a guy on this forum who tested it and saw some small gains, no dyno info though:

Here's some more info that says the things a farse, I like this one paragraph from it, they put a tornado in three different cars for people to test and here is what they said about the power:

How about the increase in power? All three drivers said they felt an increase in power after installing the Tornados. I put them back on the Dynamometer to see how much the power increased. We got the same horsepower readings on all three cars, no increase in horsepower. I asked the drivers why they said their cars had more power and they all said, "Well, it felt like it had more power."

Kind of reminds me of a few other "mods" that people make to their cars and they swear up and down that there's an increase in power. BTW here's that review:

That guy in Autozone was probably bored and bet one of the other workers that he could sell one of those stupid things that day. I'm glad you didn't buy one, yet...
