Anyone Tried The Air Razor's In Their Cars ?

[pmcn500]

These things have just hit the UK, has anyone got one og these in their cars, or know of anyone who has tried them..... and do they actually work..?

Thanks

If it worked don't you think that the car manufacturers would have installed them in the first place. Thumbs down, if anything it would restrict air flow and give you less performance.

Hmmmm... an informative unbiased reply..... thanks for that...

+1 ....just another scam.

those air razors need to be on all the time. when off they could restrict airflow. a big question to me.

WOW they have a new name now didn't they start as Tornado, then wirlwind also Air Flow Master. There all a scam that started when gas prices started to go up. Tell me where i'm wrong GO

This (Velocity Tuner) looks like the Tornado. I don't understand how it can work any better/different than the Tornado?

Made from prec. laser cut, stainless steel and is good quality. You don't have 2 cut it and its made 2 fit.

JUNK I repeat JUNK. The whole idea is close to the same concept as the vortec heads and intakes which just cause turbulence. Hate to inform you but by the time the air is sucked in the intake threw the throttle body and head it already is about as turbulent as it gets.

I would also advise against the Vortec heads from chevy except they are better than the non vortec stock heads but that hs alot to do with how much larger they port the damn things, which is what gets the power not the fancy little grooves.

Mess around with some of these shitty little air what evers and find out how bad the quality is when a piece breaks off and goes strait down the hole plink plink bang.

well, actually, the idea is thus:

The air-thingie spins the air in the intake causing it to go faster, making a partial vacuum between the air in the intake and the air outside, forcing more air into the intake. The limiting factor is the air filter. No little doilie it gonna replace a well-tought out intake. These metal works of modern art block any airflow they might have created. The theory behind these was based on the idea of Tesla-Turbine that used groved and ported sides of a pipe, and only had an effect at about 25-30 PSI...way more than a naturally aspirated engine can come close to. Plus they cost more than a K&N drop in and they have the side effect of not working. I would rather stuff a mouse in my intake.
