OKay I got one of these things. it is on my jeep, I bought it last month and it came with it, The guy who sold me the jeep said it gave him better mileage and more HP. I will take it out one day and see if it is true.

you lose about 2 peak hp on a honda motor
The only applications where it could potentially work, is on BIG 400+ ci carbed or TBI engines... but alot of domestic V8's, just because of the OHV layour, have a built in port bias that generates good swirl.
Others have built in bumps that enhance swirl.... gen 3 heads, for example, have little 'ski-jumps' cast off to one side of the valve guides

FACT:
I Dyno tested a 2001 Type R motor with bolt ons made 178whp
Tested it withe the tornado made 178whp didn't lose power anywhere
#1 The tornado is not a restriction as you may think
#2 it does work on big motors with poor intake plenum designs
It does work on some applications, but for the 99.99 with a money back gaurentee you be the judge, its funny how so many people put it down yet have never tested it or tried it. I was sent to the dyno with it on different cars to see if it worked.
