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

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).
