Anyone had any success with any of the inlet vortex generators on cars or bikes in the past. Ive been toying with the idea of installing one on the pathfinder as the fuel consumption is pretty crappy. Your thoughts are well received.:chat:

If you're referring to those things like the 'Tornado' for intakes---- they are pretty much a scam.

:agree: It's a home run for the guy who sells them.
But if it makes more noise somebody will say it works. :D

When they first started selling them [magnets] in the 70's they would get them from the Farm supply., the farmers put them around cows necks to catch iron. Just changed the name to fuel from cow.:roflblack:
