Do not waste your money on that crap. Think of it like this, if something like that actually did increase fuel mileage, the car manufacturers would be using them on new cars especially with the demand for better fuel economy. I don't know of a single new car with anything like that in their intakes. Save your money.

If you want HP and gas mileage, get a custom PCM tune! I just did an 04 Tahoe, he went from a 14.9mpg to 18.8! That made the owner very happy!

They're some electric superchargers and turbo's that do work, but they're very expensive and what you're talking about isn't it.

You should get two, and double you HP and MPG...

Seriously tho, they don't work. I don't know how many of these threads there are, but almost in all of them I post this...http://www.popularmechanics.com/auto...s/1802932.html

I'm getting 26MPG city in the 2.4 with mods. Open up that intake and exhaust... it'll get you more power and MPG. Just stay out of the gas.

SEARCH on any car forum and you will find this part flamed because it is a useless piece of garbage. you can also send however much $$ they want for them to me and get the same performance for the money out of it.

You should've invested in stickas! Proven ricer HP there! You'd have been talking some serious HP increase there...LOL

Seriously...it's a big waste of money. And don't forget the costs when the things break and go INTO your system...and it HAS happened despite the company's claims it won't.

yep what a increase in maybe 3 hp and seriously no fuel economy difference, actually yes there is a difference in fuel economy....... i think it's worse. it even said on there "IF U R NOT NOTICING AN INCRESE IN HORSEPOWER MAKE SURE UR TURBONATER HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY" and even though i knew i put the pice o **** in correctly i still had to double check when i did doublecheck it seemed to be crooked soi straightend it out and im gonna see if there is still hope for this w ak product if not then this goes back in the box and back to florida good thing theres a moneyback guarentee, but theres always a catch w/ that -15 font lettering that nobody can see that says shipping and handling is not refundable also their is a 15%restocking fee.... WTF them crak bass tards
