Power Maxx Vortex Generator

Anybody used power maxx vortex generator? is that realy save gas?

I tried one on my H3 and in my Corrolla. I saw no difference + or - in performance or economy. I also didn't put them precisely where they say to put it because on the H3 there wasn't enough room and on the Corrolla it would be blocking a little tube that came off the intake. The way I see it though, if the change in air flow is so subtle that it must be placed directly in front of the air flow sensor to make a difference, what real difference are you going to experience?

Not to sound negitive..But these contraptions are pure snake oil...They claim to make intake turbulence..Blah, blah, blah...But what the intake needs is more air..With these I can only see an added restriction, as it must take up valuable room in the intake pipe just being there..The so called turbulence you get is about the same as without one, because past the throttle body the chambering is already designed to create some turbulence naturally...So save your money on this gimick.

reminds me of when i put a cut up bottom of a soup can under my aircleaner on the '70 chebby PU. shaped like a fan blade, it was supposed to create a "tornado" to mix the gas and air. all it did was keep the flames from the backfires from catching the air filter on fire.

I was woundering about those someone else told me they have one and it save money .To me it look cheap they are all over ebay.

Growing up around mechanics I knew the probable outcome, but I figured I'd give it a try anyway. I keep very detailed fuel economy records (to X.XXX) on every fill up, and I didn't notice any change, good or bad. They say they will refund 110% of the sale price. I'm holding my breath next to the mail box!

These gismos are also a big hoax too...

Throttle body Spacers

Dang! I was going to run out and buy one to go along with my magnet set on the fuel line to remove the lead and the lithium greased muffler bearings that help the exhaust gasses slide out! Too bad you weren't there to stop me before I bought the high temp synthetic turn signal fluid. That stuff didn't do nuthing but make blink real fast.

LOL..Now you'll have to clean it all out with a bucket of prop wash..Those are also in the same catagory as those electrical power stabilizers you can put on the battery....Can you say Expensive DC Capacitor?
