gosh. does it come with stickers? I think all the HP and MPG gains are doubled for each sticker that comes with it... and, if you can buy extras, so much the better!

I have two of those on my truck....one right after the other. It's just as good as a twin turbo set-up.

I got 150% faster drying of my hair with that than I did with the blow dryer alone.

It really works.

Least you still have hair!

I put 4 of those on my wheels and it gave me an air-suspension setup! Rides like a dream and I get 500mpg, no road resistence!

I bought one of those. They work even better when u top off the blinker fluid and make sure ur flux compasitator is firing on all 6cylinders. looks to me like piece of junk.

Absolutely useless unless you first change your muffler bearings. The extra HP can cause you to throw a pipe if you don't.

Saw one of those in a bathroom hand-dryer once. Barely even ad to put your hands under it. Gave me the idea to put on in my A/C.

That's useless without stickers. A few sticker on the rear window and a few on the door will definatly add HP.

Only 1 or 2. I run one for every cylinder in my 4.0L, with a custom intake of course feed from my roof scoop, fender scoops, hood scoop and 2 from behind the headlights.

You can never have to much cold air.
