lol wow. Is that a knockoff tornado fuel saver!? Probably wastes more gas because the airflow is blocked by that stupid thing.

IT WORKS..................... for the seller-- There is no evidence that this device works and more info points to the fact that it may restrict airflow into the intake.

They just covered all these gas saving devices on last week's motorweek. They tested the intake type (like the one you showed), the magnetic kind that goes over the fuel line, and some alcohol type of device. None of them worked. They went as far to say that this kind of intake device actually robs horsepower and gas milage.

this looks like tornado fuel saver rip off, i did have the original tornado fuel saver installed in my n/a supra and in the G and i did notice a bit of difference about 1L per 100km of fuel savings, the car kinda felt more torquey, later when i took it out of the G it felt like it was quicker without it.. so this might've all been due to the infomous placebo affect,

Those things work great! They're pretty much guaranteed to fall apart, get sucked into your motor and wreak havoc in there.

It's not decent because it does not work.
