Those tornado things?

Have any of you tried one out on your car? They say they make one for us, but kinda like to get some feedback , of course. Goes in the throttle body hose, somewhere. Just wondering. I may try one of the damn things, anyway. If I do, I'll definitely pass on the results.

Forget about the tornado I've got some APC decals, Type R badges, neon squirters, and blinking wheel caps that will give you at least 30hp and knock .5 seconds off your time plus give you 35 mpg in the city.

If you would prefer I could get one of the actors from the Love Boat to tell you the same thing but it will cost you twice as much.

Yeah sounds like a dumb thing to me. Did you know there are people who sell a filter thing to but in you oil filter that is just a roll of toilet paper that you can use for over 10,000 miles? The toilet paper would work great for filtering but the oil would take forever to get through.

Alright, alright, just call me rikki. I was temporarily impaired. The joke is on me. But you know as well as I do, there are more than a few out there in this forum who were taken, and use it. Damn, with all the ghetto bullshit mentioned at times. Its easy sometimes to get carried away trying to get the most out of these cars. Thanks for snapping me back to reality.

I bought it for my Honda a long, long, long, time ago. They made some claims that increased HP backed by some drag race companies. Now they advertise as increased gas milage. I couldn't give you a true before and after result without dyno runs. I still have it in my CRX but a 5hp gain is not noticable to me.

Hey RyanRex, those toilet paper things work. My brothers auto teacher who has ~30 cars, many drags, says they are the best filters you can get.
