Those things that you put in the intake tubes or air cleaner to give you better MPG and power,do they really work ? I figured that it wouldnt work on EFI but they sell them saying that it does.Anybody got any info on this?

This principle does work on carburated vehicles, but I have never know anyone to brag about one on an efi rig, and I know a couple who bought them.

There`s no way it would work on my truck because by the time the intake charge got to the intake valve all that swirling around would have straightened back out.It`s gotta be a scam.

There is no possible way to increase the flow through an open system by placing a stationary object in the flowpath.

I had one in a Lincoln town car, and didn't notice much, but once I took it out it seemd the tiniest bit more sluggish.

And Mr. Gasket sells a rubber version for $13.
