    B.S. As stated above, use the search button, please. I am not trying to be mean, so please all of you defenders of newbs, back-off.

    To those who don't know, The "Tornado" is some aluminum or tin
    circular doo dad wth angled fins that is placed in the air intake
    tube. It's supposed to make the passing air swirl to better mix with
    the fuel for more power and efficiency. They cost something
    ridiculous like $70+, and here is my experience.

    First of all, it was given to me, I wouldn't pay that for
    something claiming 10%+ or something in power (too good to be true).
    I put it in my '90 integra, just behind the K&N filter. All it did was
    made a really neat sound. Next time I checked on it, it had slid all
    the way to the throttle body and was sideways, so I got some tin and
    extended it, plus added a fin (yep, you can make your own). I put it
    back in, I think in front of the TB, and went on a long trip. I
    matched my previously best milage, 600Kms by the time the gas light
    comes on.??? Coincidence??? I had even wasted some gas on that trip
    racing a VR6. Since then, there were no noticable gains, so I took
    it out and put it in my brothers civic and he didn't notice a thing.
    I think it's still there, probably sitting sideways.

    NO dont listen to them!! it really works!!! get your moms credit card and order one asap!!!

    it gets you great gass milage, it increases hp by like 50 or more, sounds awsome and is really a good investment!!!
    plus you should get a 'tornado' banner for your front windsheild or at least some tornado stickers....to hell with DC sports!!
    i put 2 in my car!! and one in the exhaust!!!
