I just purchased 2 Spiral Max inserts for my Injen intake. I put them in yesterday and didn't notice much of a difference at first. I reset the computer and instantly noticed a difference when I took it out again. More power and torque. I even got pulled over by a concord cop. Guess I was having to much fun. I don't know about the gas mileage yet though.

I'll tell you this though. There is no more hesitation in the high RPM range.

Does anyone else have this product?

ya the "heat box"!!! and i made a hole on the top of the filter and put a screen on it for more air flow


You do know they sell them like that right? I got one for my ex-girls tC and it whistles all through the RPM range anytime you increase throttle. The ones I buy have a second smaller cone inverted in the middle for increased intake area. Either will make a LITTLE throttle response diff. A friend of mine tried the Tornado thing and I'm inclined to agree with the resetting of the ECU explanation. After a few days it was no faster or more fuel efficient than before. If you want gains like this that you can actually feel and play with: get a SAFCII and have it tuned on a wideband o2 at minimum by someone who actually knows what they are doing. I did and I felt REAL gains that can be measured at the track - where it counts. Obviously a dyno tune would be way better.
Should say I have not even checked out theSpiral Max though. Good luck. Hope it actually does something. As stated above: Even if it's only an increase in gas mileage that would be worth it in this day and age.
