It's okay if you prefer your steak well-done. I will agree with you that most people in this thread seem to prefer a more rare steak. To each his own.
Something you will laugh at, but just wanna share.

Yes, inside the rubber intake tube. At first, I wanted to cut those fins before the sensor because I worry about the A/F ratio, but there might be some purpose for those fins there and since I have Dyno-Scan on my laptop. I put it after the MAF, and A/F works fine, mainly stays at 14.65+-

Lol so you stuck a peice of crap inside your intake, and even though it just sits there disrupting air flow, somehow it has improved? Makes a ton of sense

no its not... perfect a/f ratio is 14.7 to 1 so hes damn near being perfect...

I read your first post and I respect what you're doing. You're putting your money where your mouth is.

Forget it. I just wanna share something like what other do. If you think it's like there is a base ball in your ass and you cant take ****, it's fine with me. Anyways, I have no idea if it does anything saving the gas. I won't know until next weekend when I refuel.

I'll just buy a CAI and a nice steak.
Read your post's title, "something you will laugh at." You expected this kind of tom-foolery when you made the post!
Also, a baseball in the ass would more likely mean that you can't make **** than take it.

i am gonna just say this, i think too many people start jumping on the bandwagon and start bashing products like this, HOWEVER, there is no dyno proof either way. So untill that time comes, have fun man and happy modding. I hope it really does work for you.

There is a science behind air swirl and fuel atomization. The smaller the droplets of fuel are, the better the combustion. I understand the concept behind the Tornado fuel saver. Swirl characteristics are designed into combustion chambers and intake and exhaust ports. Intake manifolds are also designed with swirl enhancement in mind. Air that has controlled turbulance creates more power and fuel efficiency.
With that said, this piece looks like more of an impediment to airflow than an assistance. The Si intake tube was designed for proper airflow on a stock motor. Placing something inside the tube would only limit the amount of air getting to the intake. If something like this was that good at improving performance and fuel economy, you would think the manufacturers would have used it years ago.
To me, it is another deal like the infamous cow magnets placed on cars back in the 1970's to improve fuel economy. The magnets along with the Tornado fuel saver were debunked at Mankato State University Engineering. MSU profs debunk gas savers — Minnesota State University, Mankato (MSU) – 2004-06-06
I do want to say that it is important that we try and think outside the box. Conventional thinking limits what we can do. I support the OP's willingness to try something out. If he feels the gains are noticeable and the product is worth the money, more power to him. What we don't want to do is to mock or make fun of people trying something different.
For me, I will spend my increasingly hard earned dollars on ideas I know will work. I really wish that there were magical things that could improve the efficiency of our cars, but alas, we all know how expensive it is to make improvements on our cars.
