No walk away my friend, don't even look at it. You might get laughed at for putting that on your jeep.

Some company did a dyno test with one of those installed on a car a few years back. Their baseline on the stock car netted 5 more hp lol

I agree it's probably a sham. But Mythbusters are wrong sometimes. I would not rely on Mythbusters, that is for certain.

Especially if you put them in the engine bay. The injector upgrade and 99+ intake did not help as much,lol.

No...just no...save your money for real upgrades. I rank that part up there with The Tornado insert. All you're doing is creating a restriction in the intake tract. For the same price go buy a drop in K&N or Spectre and remove the "bottleneck" plastic piece from the airbox lid. Now for less than 30 bucks, you've helped the airflow of your motor.

I already have a drop in K&N filter since 7 years ago...

One thing that I really could tell that I felt a little increase in power/torque was by just changing oil from Castrol GTX 20W-50 to Mobil Super Delvac 1300 15W-40, I have been using this oil since 2007 and it really does its job...

Saw this several years ago, can't believe there still for sale or anybody would buy them.

Mighty Car Mods on the YouTube tested those, no gain at all.

Whatever power you may get you'll lose running the alternator for that piece.

Amazing the effect of switching from heavy tar to oil does for moving parts! lol
