Snake oil. Dyno proven to provide 2 fewer hp on a 1.8T VW Beetle, and therefore probably similar "gains" on an RX-7.

Money spent on crack is money better spent.

I would rather spend the 80 bux on lighter windshield wiper blades cause it will make my car more aerodynamic.

Theres this thing called the Vortex thats the same as the spiral max but only like $20.

RIP OFF

****** like these should be locked up. If something so simple actually worked it would be on every car made in the last 50 years. And $80...

Typical range of improvement over baseline is:
0 to 35 increase in horsepower,

0 to 31.85% increase in fuel economy.


(Actual performance may vary, depending on type of car, driver, and actual driving conditions.)
well at least they r not lying... it will make 0 improvment

I just LOVE that 0-35hp improvement. The man just can't lose selling this product. How are you going to complain that there was no improvement in hp???Just send him the money and tell him to keep the parts so you can at least save on the shipping charges. That had to be a tongue in cheek ad. They were not serious. Or has it come to this, where people will believe ads like this???? I've got some Imron stock for sale. Only fifty bucks a share. I'll let you have it for 49.99.

Someone should email them and ask if they will gaurantee a .1 HP increase. If they are advertising that it will at least gain you 0, which is more than -1, if you lost HP, couldn't you sue them for false advertising?

How about their "Turbo Exhaust Tube" ?
I reminds me of the hitch socket propeller thingy.
