"Tornado is a non-moving turbine shaped device, which creates a vortex or swirling effect to the engine. The result is improved airflow into the engine's combustion chamber, causing a more efficient mixture between air and fuel."go to: http://www.tornadoair.com/ for more infodon't get one.

A freind of mine told me that most intakes are basicly designed to "swirl" the air without one of those things so it'd be pointless. can anyone confirm that or is he full of zhit?

If it's such a great product, how come they don't come standard in every car?

That would be great, but too risky to a manufacturer. Think of the lawsuits against the car manufacturers when some moron tries to play PS2 while driving and crashes. The idiot would undoubtedly hire a lawyer to sue the manufacturers because the manufactuer has money and they created a "potentially dangerous driving situation".

I believe you can get a PS2 with the new honda odessys. My brother works in parts at a honda dealership and he was trying to get one for cheap cuz no one was buying them but the manager wasn't havin it.

If they were available with the Honda Odyssey, I'm sure the screen and controls are located for the rear passengers...

I think you are correct. Funny thing is, some of these products claims you can get as much as 30 more horsepower from using it. I really find that hard to believe. I think these products are like most junk sold on TV, they are so cheap that it’s not worth the hassle to send it back. People eat the cost and throw the product away. These types of companies are not worried about residual sales. They are trying to make a fast buck and then produce something new. Why haven’t major auto-parts manufactures gotten into making these things?

Riced out hondas suck. honda makes great, reliable products. its when people do dumb **** to them that they suck. the type R tegs, and civics are awsome track cars. and the NSX, although highly overpriced, is one of the best NA track cars around. dont diss hondas and think that we are all blasphomous cause this is a nissan site and we are talking good about them.

Dude, you've probably only owned ONE car in your whole life, so ease up. To say ALL cars (of any brand) suck, is a monumentally stupid comment. Especially since they've made several of the best-selling cars in the world over the past 2 decades...

My 94 Si was a sweet car - Fun to drive, reliable as hell, turned heads, safe, cheap to own and maintain, and damn fast for its price class.

And it certainly would outrun a 91 240, all day long...:D

Anybody wanna see pics of the car I sold to buy my Q?
