| Does the "Tornado" air intake accessory really work? It's a device that you bolt-in with the existing air intake tube with metal fins that is supposed to generate a spinning air flow in the intake manifold for better fuel-air mixture, and thus better mileage and horsepower. |

The short answer? - No.
The long answer? - No way! :2: It is a total waste of money. :4:

It works very well at enhancing the manufacturer's P/L. |

While I don't think that anything big or even hardly detectable would occur, I wonder if the vaporization of the fuel droplets would be increased, would the thickness of the laminar layer along the edge of the intake manifold be reduced? If so what would that do inside the combustion chamber.
Naw it's a bunch of BS |

| Just imagine a piece of it breaking and being pulled inside the cylinder.....That part worries me the most....:eek: |

| The only thing the Tornado does that works is have its marketers laugh all the way to the bank from all the fools who have purchased the device. Think about it, a little piece of metal which probably costs 50 cents to manufacture - if it did what it claimed EVERY car would have them from the factory. |

I won't put an obstruction in my air intake... You want the air to have the least amount of turns, bulges, jagged edges, etc. to keep from slowing it down. That 'device' is an obstruction of the first order.
