There will be people will argue for all eternity that they have no effect or a negative effect on your dak, but to me, I think they do whatever they say they will do.
Try one, they have a money back guarentee. Anyway, It improved power and MPG on my dak. Of course, when i added it, i had no other mods though.
If you have fuel injection, the improvement may not be as noticable but there will be a difference. Even if it gets you 1 mile more gallon, it will still pay for itself.

To clarify they don't work on magnum engines. Carburated and TB injected may do what it says because they are a wet intake manifold, meaning that fuel and air flow through the intake not just air as in port fuel injection. They may help mix the fuel in because those designs, fuel distribrution is poor.

As Donald said some will argue. I guess I am "some". I tried one on a carbureted engine. I tested it for h.p. gain, mpg, and actual straight line performance. Didn't get anything but money back when I sent it back to them. Later I learned that I was lucky not to lose anything. The effect of Tornado, Airaid, etc. is what you don't want in a gas or liquid flow. The swirlling effect restricts flow. Something else to think about is the throttle body (carbureted or injected). The blades will straighten the flow back out if the device is placed before the throttle body. If placed afterwards, the manifold design will straighten the flow back out on most applications. It's your call, of course, but "gimmicks" usually only serve to remove $ from some and puts it in the hands of others.
