No they don't work.


Spinning air can sometimes cause it to be drawn into the engine slower than if allowed to go straight in so you can actually hurt performance.

They don't tell you that on the infomercial though

You just have to think... car companies spend billions trying to improve the fuel economy of their vehicles, so if something that simple worked, dont you think ALL our cars would already have it?!

Very true but im not saying if they work or not. From what everyone says here i dont think buying one would be a good idea, but...

Why aren't all cars installed with higher flow panel filters like the K&N?

Filters like the K&N aren't put in due to cost. Paper filters are so cheap to manufacture vs. the cotton? K&Ns. The reason why you don't see CAIs is due to air intake noise.

The tornado is a joke. I love the 2L coke bottles example, wherein the fluid is fighting to go the bottom, and the air is fighting to go to the top. There are opposing forces there. How does the principle of the Tornado even come close to that?

Save your money for 2 reasons.


#1) Tornado does nothing

#2) It's a Kia

Ohhh wait they offer a 30day guarantee/return policy. So Maybe I'll dyno the thing, find out what my kia's fwhp is w/ and w/ out the thing and then return it.
