How can a product that connects to the end of your tail pipe improve gas mileage? all its doing is restricting the flow and pretty much adding another cat converter. I can believe it can cut emissions because like I said its prolly like adding another cat. But zero way of improving gas mileage. I need to see a 3rd party test of that.EDIT: ok so it is suppose to restrict flow so the cat heats up quicker. Well on new cars there already are 2 cats so honestly I still dont see any thing good worth $200 then replacing a filter thing every 8-10k miles. Snake oil.

I'll add this to my car! It will work nicely with the Tornado, the e-bay performance "chip" resistor thingy, the fuel line magnets, and the cigarette lighter power conditioner already installed! (removed)!I'm all about reducing emissions and increasing fuel efficiency but I don't know how this device could do both... Admittedly, I haven't really looked into this device much yet but still...

If a car releases tons of CO2 and this thing only is removing grams what difference is it actually making.

I'm disappointed. I have been looking for a good source of snake oil, but this isn't any help

Its funny they put it on a car that already has a ULEV rating, Put it on that 76 Ford LTD down the street that fogs the neighborhood for bugs every morning when they leave for work

visegrips

I've got the same solution for only $25 - buy a 12" pair of Vise-Grips and squash your tailpipe down to just a slit. Reduced polution by 90% - keeps engine revs down below 2k rpm.
