There have been numerous Magazine road and dyno tests...and they all came to the same conclusion. They are pure crap.
Even IF they "spiraled" the air like they claim to...that spiraled air would have to stay spiraled through the large flat throttle body that cuts the air in half.
Even IF that "spiraled" air split it to smaller spirals past the TB, it opens up into your intake plenum. A much larger long tube that splits into 4 LONG CURVED runners.
Even IF those 2 "spirals" of air split again, into 4 even spirals of air, they would have to keep spiraling through 180 degrees of tubing over about 12 inches... and then go past one injector spritzing them with 44 PSI gas, and through 2 small intake valve opens where the air just squeeszes by the sides of the valve....
Do you really think the air stays spiraled that long?
No, they don't work. You are paying $65 to $120 for bent up pieces of aluminum foil that actually restrict air flow by blocking space and slowing the air down by "spinning" it.

It's annoying, and it makes people generally unhappy. It clogs the forums with needless redundancy, and it makes it harder for YOU to get all the information you want, because all your answers are spread out across 4,000 different threads.
