Ha, as a matter of fact they are. 2 other guys I know have it on a f150 and a silverado, but they couldnt tell me and solid HP benefits. "It makes a bunch of HP and it does make a whistling noise"- quote from my friend with an eclipse. Like I said I think its BS, but I never heard of it before. Personally the only noise I want from my engine compartment is a supercharger. Anyway just curious if anyone here knew anything good/bad.

if it comes with stickers, its totally worth it, because ask any ricer, stickerz add tons more horsepower.

That's true! Stickers can add as mush as 50 rwhp. Man, that is so stupid. I don't know why these ricers put a bunch of stickers all around their cars. I wonder if they know that they are marketing those companies for free. They just look stupid. I like it when a civic or a an ecilpse or a mirage pulls by my side with a bunch of stickers and I smoke my tires on their faces
