I'm not going to lie I've always wanted to try it and see if it works. I just don't feel like spending $40 and have it not do a damn thing. Hell I'm a college student I can't afford to be waisting money.

40$ paper weight.... /end.

dyno tests prove, it's a restriction to intake flow, costs hp. Fuel economy will not change for the better. Consider searching... this topic has been covered a few hundred times.

Just keep this in mind. A Vortech Supercharger kit for a 2004 Mustang that produces 155 HP boost costs $5,139.95. The Price/Performance ratio is $5,139.95/155HP = $33.16/HP. It costs $33.16 for every one horsepower it produces. All the Turbonator has to give you to beat the Vortech supercharger in termsj of it's price/performance ratio is 3 horsepower.

according to that, you can get more hp out of an full exhaust system
(on the FAQ page)

Unless they can post dyno results, it's bs in my book. I don't consider the Washington Post HiPo experts. They'll say anything for a few bucks.
