If you've got the money & time, it would be wonderful to actually read a review of one, possibly with dyno numbers & fuel economy numbers.
From the auction: If you are dissatisfied, return it within 30 days from when you receive,*for a full refund of final bid price. If it doesn't do anything, you're out $10 - the price of shipping. I think it might be worth trying. If it does everything it claims, you'd save money in fuel fairly rapidly.

Yup, Consumer Reports tried out all these vortex tornado things and it does nothing for fuel economy or power. Heck, $30 for a bent piece of stainless steel...
EDIT: If something this simple, cheap, and easy to make improved fuel economy and power so much, every car would come with one from the factory.

Oh, and PT Barnum is waiting for you in the after life.

The mystery of the prize.
May improve fuel economy, due to the intake restriction it will be. Similar effect could be had by covering part of your air filter, or shoving a tennis ball under your gas pedal.

These are useless, though one of them had a proven HP gain one one of chevy's VORTEC trucks!
I have never seen it do anything but waste money and loose power on every single other application I have seen.
Sometimes they come loose and turn sideways, causing some interesting sounds and effects.
Dont waste your time and money even reading about it :p
