More restrictive, less gas mileage, performance lost if anything...I remember this product was a marketing scheme years ago...

Yes absolutely I was kidding! I was going for sarcasm but I guess it didn’t translate well. I see these things on infomercials at 2am and always get a good laugh.

don't do it... i had one before and the rubber boot got sucked into the throttle body keeping it wedged open. Luckily the car shut off without damage. I was accelerating onto a freeway when it happened.

Get a new filter, clean ur MAF, get a tune up and call it a day.

I put one in my mouth when I go running and then close off my nose with a clothespin. It helps atomize the air so my lungs can absorb the air better. I've ran a 3.30 minute mile with this device strapped to my face.
