Simply junk. Never seen one work at all. There are plenty of threads I think on this forum covering these.

Just a quick read http://autorepair.about.com/cs/produ...afpr052002.htm

Tons more on the web.

I look at it this way since we drive 04-06 F-150's in this section. Take for example the 5.4 intake setup. Even if you spun the air coming from the inlet tube, what do you think will happen when the air hits the air filter????? It flattens out, defeating the prupose of the entire vortex unit. The only thing these devices will do is restrict air at their best. How can anyone believe that the air will maintain the spiral all the way to the fuel and in the combustion chamber. Advertisement and people that do not know better are what these products feed on. My $.02
