That sum's it up really, you would get better gas mileage from a tuneup
and oil change

that version looks way cheap. it may cause f.o.d.

increasing part throttle swirl in the intake stream can help airflow efficiency on prehistoric engines like the small block Chevy , ford ,doge not a 4valve per cylinder mazda

don't waist your money on that piece of dookie.
clean your injectors regularly and thank god for mazda

Metallic Snake Oil

No it doesn't do anything for a modern fuel injected engine. Hey even ebay will tell you

Usually these things are marketed as a secret that the car and oil companies conspire to hide from Joe Public. I always wonder at this bizarre fantasy. Oil companies may have an incentive to hide fuel saving technology, but car manufacturers don't. If a 5 cent piece of stamped steel on your intake could save 10% fuel...or even 1% it would be on every car made. I mean Ford and Honda are speccing 5w20 oil in most cars now, and that is to gain an incremental fuel economy edge of somewhere between 0.5% and 2% vs a 30 weight.

And some secret. If this is such revolutionary technology, why are the tons of ripoffs (like the link posted).
