"TORNADO AIR MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS"

Install the Tornado fuel saving device in the air-intake of your vehicle for better gas mileage and increased horsepower!

The Tornado Fuel Saver is an automotive air channeling tool that creates a swirling air motion, allowing the air to move faster and more efficiently by continuously whirling air around corners and bends.

Imagine a mini-tornado on its side moving through the intakes of your automobile. It causes better fuel atomization, resulting in an increase of gas mileage anywhere from 7-24%. These figures are confirmed by road testing performed at an emission lab licensed by the EPA.

Dyno testing shows 4-13 added horsepower as well! The TORNADO is easy to install; 2-5 minutes usually, requires no maintenance and is an affordable addition to most passenger cars, light trucks and RVs on the road.

okay, I've never even heard of this so I don't wanna knock it before I've tried it but it sounds hilarious! this is straight outta the infomercials~ hahah anyways someone go buy one, install it, and dyno it for the rest of us. if this thing works as well as it claims, it'll not only give you more bang for the buck than any other bolt-on mod, but I think I'll become their first Canadian distributor

edit - its USD$69.95 + S&H

I think a s2k owner tried one of these. I can't see how this thing would do anything but HURT horsepower. Maybe it does something on a truck, but this thing is a scam IMHO.

I'm not planning on buying it by any means but they did a test on it with trucks in fourwheeler magazine and it did dyno out like 5-8 hp I think. They were doing a test on a bunch of filters and things. The air filter setup was a lot different so I doubt it will do much for imports

My friend bought one.... turned on his car... the thing went from the filter all the way to the throttle and made it stick..... dangerous Sh*t... don't buy it. My friend was lucky the car was still in park =P

hehe but it claims to be "...a NON-MOVING Vortex Generator!"

we should seriously install it on someone's car (as a sacrifice), and then when it f*cks up - use that as grounds to take the company to court.

all active PO.com members can chip-in like USD$5 for the legal fees and then we can split the ca$h when its all over.. heh of course we'd have to make sure that their product totally wrecks the car
