If its anything like the other spiralmax type things, its a sham. Doesnt do much and nothing near what it says it does. Just save your money.

I have a tornado on my car right now! To be honest I really can't tell the differece on nothing! Gas mileage or more power! ....Who knows I bought that crap the first week I bough my stang two years ago thinking I would get more power! ....after having a mac CAI and then realizing it was crap! I just bought a Densecharger from the maf to the fender and reused my stock intake tube and reinstalled the Tornado! ....I honestly think its crap but I istalled it anyhow!

Dont buy that crap. Worst case is that it breaks and the fan blades go into your intake and bad things will happen. Its used in marine applicaitons. Ebay had a bunch of those and one guy had an item that advised against it as he could not stand people being ripped off. Forgot what was the function of the fan for but not intended to go in the intake of cars. Its the same thing if you go to Home Depot and buy hoses in the plumbing section to connect an Intercooler. It looks like the expensive silicon hoses but as you soon discover the engine heat will distort and melt the Home Depot hose as it cannot withstand the heat. It is simply not made for that purpose.

Because people are always looking for the easiest way to make more power but spend the least amount of money. Why do you think so many people waste hundreds of dollars on a cold air intake or a new MAF on a stock car?
