Don't waste your time or money. It is just a gimmick, you would get more horsepower by adding stickers

Why? To make more power. And because some aren't brave enough to turbo!!

Bad idea!! All I see it being good for is restricting the air tube! File this right next to The Tornado!!(JUNK)

Had one on my Mustang mom bought one me for Christmas only because she won the bid for 20$. I got more power and noise from a throttle body spacer from Helix. It sounded like a pissed off weed whacker when I floored it. I think you will get more HP and TRQ from the leaf blower trick in the intake.
