it might work on a carb.'d vehicle, cause it will help mix the air and gas, but on a EFI car, thats what the intake manifole does. with that piece of cheap metal sitting in the intake tubing, you might actually cut down on the air getting in.

Yes, it is very useful to spin the air! Spinning the air makes it better air! Better air makes the engine happy!

Your all wrong. It does do something!!!! We put it in my friends wifes 2000 hyundi elantra (spelling). and the car would not go over 85mph, It would stutter and buck as if it was missing. Then we take it out and the car will do 110mph. We did this over and over just to see if it was for real, pluss other friends wanted to see. So there ya go.
