It’s junk. Airflow restriction is bad (probably how it saves fuel Less air = less fuel = less power :roll:). It might (big might) help turbulence, but there are better ways to cut down on that IMHO. It has been discussed to death, do a search.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

There is a post like this every week.

Do you people have no memory?

NONE OF THESE THINGS WORK! Somebody please add something to the TOS.

If something this cheap really worked, you would see everyone buying it. It's simple common sense...

I can tell you from personal experience: It don't work! My g/f gave me one for my birthday, so I put it on...I was curious, so I did some baseruns on acceleration and fuel milage. After the install, I drove around to let the computer reset, parked it, redid the acceleration run. Nothing, no difference. OK, maybe it will save fuel....Nope, maybe 1 mpg. Performed the same test on a 01 Grand Am GT, same results...All that work just to find out it sucks :-?
