Bout time they cameout with negative induction.
as a bonus my exhaust " will be uniformly dispersed into the atmosphere". As opposed to being un-uniformily dispersed

Is the CARB EO number still pending on this?
Would like to purchase ASAP,
Also I'm hoping that my gas milage will increase exponentially if I use this product in conjuction with my Tornado!

I know you guys are joking about this thing, but I want to be serious for a minute. I don't think it will add performance, IMO it will DECREASE performance by creating a lot of back-pressure in the exahust when the hot gases have to work their way past the spinning blades to exit the rear of the pipe. That back-pressure is going to cost some HP...just how much is hard to predict.

And...another thing......how long do you think that spinning shaft and the bearing which allows it to spin will last after being subjected to constant 800- 900-degree exhaust-gas temperature and shock-cooling when the engine shuts off ?

I just ordered one for the 430

Car payments are too heavy to afford ones for both exhaust tips at this point

You might have a point, Henry. Like I mentioned in my post, the bearings and shaft that hold that thing on won't last very long at some 900 degrees..

On Friday and Saturday nights, when I take my non-riced RX300 to the drag races, I see plenty of the things mentioned thoughout this thread. Great for an auto show, but unfortunately these kids who race have it in their heads (no joke) that this stuff makes them go fast and intimidates the other racers.

All I know is, when I race the only lights I see are the christmas tree staging lights and the lights of their stupid cars in my rear view mirror after they get smoked by one of the fastest RX300s on the planet.
