Has anyone tried these products on their truck?

Just wondering if anyone has actually tried the cyclonic inserts like that made by turbonator in their f-150. If so, what was the result? They advertise up to 3mpg increase and possible hp increase. Any experience with this? Thought I might try it, but wanted some feedback first.

Had someone with a Mustang 03 use one on a dyno and lost 5 hp. Used it for a week and never gained any mpg.

I have found that with products like these you will only see the HP or mileage increase if you use the decals that come with them. Ask anyone in a small car with a fartcan muffler, they will tell you the same thing!

You don't even need the product, just the decal to get massive horsepower...
