#134711, "Has anyone tried this?"
Jul-29-11 06:05 PM by xxsoccerguy55xx



          

This is something i found on ebay while searching for a CAI. I have never heard of it or seen anyone use it. It says there is a 13% increase in horsepower (ya right LMAO). Does anyone know if they do absolutely anything, or if they sound nasty (like a turbo)?

You didn't post a link, but I can tell you they're worthless junk. They do absolutely nothing and you'll see absolutely no gains.

It will sound like loose bits of metal being lodged into the valves and combustion chamber causing catastrophic failure.

Yeah,it's a gimmick designed to take money from people that don't know any better.

Turbochargers sound like they do because they spin 40,000 - 120,000 RPM. This won't do that.

I would like to know how something would spin at the claimed RPM without any kind of lubrication.
