Mazdaspeed cone air filter?

Hey, I found this on Ebay. The only Mazdaspeed air filter that I know of is a direct replacement drop-in for the air box. I think this filter is a bunch of B.S., what do you guys think?

Looks like all they did was slap a mazdaspeed sticker on the EXCHANGABLE FILTER AND ADAPTER thing.

Here is my 3 seconds search.

So No it's not a real mazdaspeed one. Just some dumbass trying to mark up a POS filter. I wouldn;t trust that on my engine since it comes in pieces to begin with.

Dude, 15 horsepower! That's a pretty hella sweet upgrade.

Speaking of, I saw a half-hour-long infomercial for one of those tornado air swirler thingies. Now I've heard of them before, but I was suprised at how much they focused on actual results. They had a "dyno" (little moving analogue gauge needle) and multitudes of consumer testimonials. I don't know how you can lie so badly and sleep at night.

Well dude, it SWIRLS the air, which is good for like, 50 hp. Look at turbochargers. All these idiots talk about "boost" and "pressure" when they don't really know that all a turbo does is swirl the air REALLY REALLY hard, which makes loads of hp! Why else would it be shaped like a snail? Snail=swirly, duh! Heck, turbo's even swirl the exhaust, therefore having a double effect!!!

just out of curiosity one day think I might get one of those tornado things and hook up a volt meter to the afm
wait I cna borrow my friends for this
and see how things work out as far as EXTRA air flow



on the topic though I did buy a ebay filter one time
have to say I was impressed
it actually looked like the filter was a decent piece about on part with my bonez filter that was being replaced due to a nice NASTY split
only thing is I like the adaptor for the bonez filter a lot more then the ebay one
