if youre familiar with the company that makes spiralmax you read that it can increase hp by 35% AND gas mileage. i spent the $65 and was SOOOOO disappointed. gas mileage was unaffected and if there was a hp gain, i didn't notice. so just a precaution, don't waste your money like i did. (i think its meant for big displacement/high output engines.)<P>dave

and if youre wondering what the hell it is:<P>its a little metal piece that you stick in the intake pipe. its a collar shape with angled flanges coming off of it that are meant to "spiral" the air coming in.

nah, i don't wanna sell it. thanks though<P>dave

Don't waste your money on either one of them. They don't affect gas mileage, and you'd lose HP and torque before you gained any.

all it does it disrupt your airflow, hmm that would make me think u'd lose a s--- load of power

it does not just disrupt the airflow. air naturally has a very erratic movement and the spiralmax gives the incoming air a defined path to go. its the same idea behind the swirling of toilet water when you flush. there definitely wasnt' a loss of horsepower, but also none to be heard of either.<P>dave

My friend has a tornado for his miata and he said that at first he didnt notice any power but eventually he said he gained alot.

he was lying like johnnie cochrane when he got OJ off of a double murder.

it becomes erratic as soon as it enter the intake manifold<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by daverman:<BR><STRONG>it does not just disrupt the airflow. air naturally has a very erratic movement and the spiralmax gives the incoming air a defined path to go. its the same idea behind the swirling of toilet water when you flush. there definitely wasnt' a loss of horsepower, but also none to be heard of either.<P>dave</STRONG><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
