Tornado bs or not?

I hear all the time about that tornado that is suppose to make a vortex of air that increases mileage and power. I myself think its BS but others tell me it works, read many forms on sites saying they lost power and mileage. My uncle has a 97 grand marquie and he swears by the tornado. I know every car is different but is it BS or what?

Why would anyone want to put a restriction into their airflow path?

I dont understand the logic of this! It makes absolutely no sense to stick a piece of metal in your TB tube that makes the air go a certain way to give you more power and fuel economy. It makes NO sense!

I dont understand the logic of a 4' wing on a honda, but people still do it, and in droves.

If I read the article correctly, the only way swirling the air would help is if it could make the air swirl into the cylinders, but it doesn't do that.

The first time I saw this on television, I thought it was legit since they supposedly dyno-tested the cars before and after the Tornado install.

Has anybody sued for false advertising yet?
