Question Tornado fuel saver

Just wandering if anybody used the tornado fuel saver in their Lightning to get more MPG and boost the HP. Does it really work?

Ive been told them are fancy paperweights. I have heard that they dont add anything, and make a whistling sound when installed (comperable to the whistle created by a throttle body spacer)

Tornado fuel saver

My life was a complete disaster, lost my job, my girfriend found a new love and my truck fuel cosumption was driving me crazy, even hunting seazon was a disaster.

After geting my very fisrt tornado I have meet the love of my life, found the best job ever and still my truck fuel consumption suck but who cares if I get rid of it in order to use a helicopter instead.

And of course a 14 points trophy buck.

Nice snake oil product, save my life..........
