Tornado Air

Has anyone use one of these yet on a 2001. I was thinking about getting one, but i'm hella skeptical.

I get to say it....

SEARCH, there's plenty of info on it, and yes, it is a waste of money

I have search, it doesn't satify me. I want feedback from a Max owner himself. Understand?

Ok, I guess I may as well 'fess up to it...

I bought one and am sending it back to them under their 30-day return guarantee. Not only have I felt absolutely NO power gain but I also LOST mpg efficiency. In my experience this product does not deliver what it advertises. This is on a 2k2 but I can well imagine it would have similar results in a 2k1. BTW I go through a tank of gas a week commuting to work so it has had a thorough check.

Hope this helps,

try it, its just as good as supercharging - the best gains will be by getting a cold air intake, and instead of the K&N, attach the tornado to it.......you can tell all your friends you got turbo - u can also get that lil speaker thing that makes a BOV noise when u press the break




















i'm j/k - dont buy it - 100% waste of money

It was your quadruple deck spoiler coupled with your tornado air setup which made the air go in soooo fast..it lifted your engine up!

i can make you a tornado for 25cent.
go get me a can of soda, i'll drink it, crush flat, poke bunch of holes in it and then you can stick that in your intake!

and uh no...you can't return it back to me. just toss it in a recycle bin if you don't like it..
