Any of you guys ever thought about adding a tornado fuel saver on your S? Any thoughts?

Ok man, both of those things are snake oil. Just a waste of money.

There is absolutely no engineering merit to the tornado fuel saver; it might even be slightly robbing power due to the restriction in the intake.

I actually did a test before I'd installed the tornado into my CAI with a blow dryer and a 3" pvc pipe with the tornado installed inside, to test it's theory I'd turned the blow dryer on inside the pvc pipe before the tornado was installed in and after it was installed. I can honestly tell you that it does indeed spin the incoming air, no lies. After that I did a test drive on my S on a before and after installation and I can also honestly tell you that it does indeed pull faster and alot smoother, this is my opinion on how it worked for me. Do your own testing then voice your opinion, that's my .02 worth....

I'm not trying to sell their product, I'm just voicing my experience with the thing. I was one of those who didn't believe but decided to cause I had nothing to lose, if it didn't work I can put it in my wife's Pathfinder and tell her that I actually bought something for her car. She doesn't like any modifications on her vehicle but I didn't want to waste the dollar for nothing... I'm not saying that it'll turn you S into a 10sec ricer but it'll help along the way, there's always a first.
