Anyone tried a Tornado Air Management System?

I was thinking of installing one but before I do I wanted some feedback from those of you that might have allready installed it.

I think it is. Don't waste your money on that.

In vehicles that have a very convoluted, not well designed intake system (like the 4.0L Jeep engines, the Tornado can provide gains. However, for most any engine designed in the last 15 years (with a relatively efficent intake system), the Tornado provides no gains at all.

a few owners on here have tested it and actually suffered more from it rather than seeing gains...

There's a sticky on this and plenty of people have posted about it, so please use the search function next time. The tornado air management piece of crap has even been found to reduce horsepower by a little bit in dyno tests. Keep away from it. It's sad to see lots of people on ebay getting ripped off when they bid on those tornados.

i duno i put it in, and it made my car too fast, i had to take it out.... vin diesel used the tornado filter and describes it best, "so much torque coming off the line, the chasis actually twisted", unless ur a good driver dont use it, too much power
