Intake fan?

Alright first off, i did search, couldn't find anything about it.
Second, not even sure if this should be in forced induction or general, but i have a 2.2 so what the hell...

I've always heard about them but never actually thought they were highly advertised.
Has anyone ever used them?
Are they worth the money?
are they bullsh**?

just curious to see peoples responses...
and any mod, feel free to move this thread, I wasn't exactly sure where to put this.

What confuses me though...is that K&N actually sells the tornado???? Not only that, they sell it in local auto parts stores??? Do you think there's a slight posibility that it reall works maybe on the gas mileage or something?

wasnt aware that K&N made one, i had a knock off for my old sonoma...it was garbage and i wouldnt see why any other brand would make it better. K&N makes great filters but cmon....putting something in your intake only slows air down...get a TB spacer that would prolly net a better gain.

I don't know what a throttle body spacer is, so flame suit on, but my educated guess is that it goes in the general area of the intake probably a little bit lower. However, the balt has a low clearance already under the hood so if my guess is right would a TBspacer even be possible?

it goes located right under neath the throttle body and there should be enough room for a 1inch spacer mayb 1.5 inch.

but i dont think ive ever seen one thats 1.5 inches b4
