lol the exhast tip one remindes me of a boat lol....wonder if they will propell you in water lol.

the intake one seams like it would work but im sure they are not doing as much as the company sells them quotes it dose. my guess is maybe just maybe a 1mpg. it seams reasonable. better flow= more flow right? thus the polish part of "port and polish"

thats not what i thought it was...ive heard of using a strait pipe and twisting it in a spiral shape all the way back fron the exhaust manifold to keep noise levels down...i was all excited, then that? is one of those ricer mods that make you sound like you have a BOV! total rice...lol

All that would do is restrict the flow of air. Reminds me of those scams on ebay, where those guys had those "turbo kits" for sale for like $20. hahaha

oh that is such a crock of BS. the whole concept is to help "swirl" the air out of the muffler causing less restriction. Now the intake idea makes sense though, swirl the air and break down the gas molecoles so they burn easier, but i doubt that works either. I know edelbrock is trying to apply that concept with their intake manifolds but i spose they're not trying to make their's out of a dollars worth of tin.
