They dont work. How would putting anything in the path of the air intake help? Dont blow your $12.

Haha nice try.

But honestly they've been proven to take HP away. Like Grant said, how can putting something in the path of the air help get more air in?

popular mechanics did a test a couple years ago, and every one of those miracle gadgets failed (many were flimsy and could cause catastrophic engine failure, so figure that $12 went to $2000
