I know it works great in returning tourque for my car at least. no doubt in my mind it makes a difference. like i said in an earlier reply. "Worst case scenario you return it in a day or so and get your money back."
you are not losing anything are you?

Korny I know but it works.
ROFLMFAO........ Get some racing stickers, a 4 foot wing, and some dumps. A complete lack of restriction on the exhaust should add more power right?
Hell get one of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fake-...25151732QQrdZ1
They are good for at least 20-30 HP gains. Not to laugh at your misfortune, but dayum you actually beleive these things do something...
..I remember the Autozone guy laughing when I asked him if they actually sold any of those. He told me I wouldn't beleive the idiots who come in here telling him "How good they are"

hahahahha ive seen those...if they work, thats great, but to me it appeals as much as those turbines in the exhaust tips attempting to sound like a turbo. did u test these with dyno or anything or just saying it feels better

Thats cool Claudiusmaximus,

I will see what I can do about the dyno issue for you guys if you are very interested. I am not going to dyno it if no one is interested, just a waste of my time otherwise (more than 10 interested). All I was saying was I noticed with my car there was alot of lag when I installed my cold air intake, and coupled with a y pipe and cat back, even more so. So I installed that unit and the difference was night and day to me on the low end tourque. Better pull because it added some of the back pressure lost from the addition of those 2 modifications but not enough to adversely affect the top end power of the car. Which was enough to make a difference I felt to post this information. But seriously, take it or leave it. I doesn't matter to me one way or the other what you do with my post. Happy new year

the tornado does not work. if you think it works, its all in your head. you are trying to convince yourself that it makes a diffirence so you wont feel bad for actually believing that they work and wasting your money
