You have two options:

1. Buy that and see if you are impressed with the results....

or

2. Save time now, give me the money and I will kick you in the nuts since that is what you will feel like after you try it out.

I hung one from my rear view mirror so it can give my hair that "wind blown look".

Serious though dude, they are garbage.

let me put it this way... if there was some magical way to add rediculour ammounts of hp and better gas milege, we ALL would have one... it's garbage, and is usually more restrictive than anything... it will not help your car out at all... there was a tv show that tested this crap, don't remember which one it was, but most of the things like this HURT the car more than anything... stay away

yeah, it's just an electric fan. your car is capable of sucking in more air than this thing could push. so basically you're just putting a piece of useless plastic in your intake tubing. no point.

it is just a piece of metal... think, also if this thing gave ass loads of hp and gas mileage, and it was safe, the car companies would be all over it... for maybe 5 dollars on their part, they can make the car faster, and raise mpg by about 30%?? they'd be all over that
