I recently bought a Vortec Cyclone for my Intake System and im getting mixed answers on if it really does work... Considering it was only 35$ i thought if it doesn't work ill just return it but whatever i was just wondering if anyone has one or experienced one. Basicly... im asking if They Work or Dont they?
CNN says they do a tiny dif
and
YahooAnswers and Popular Mechanics say they dont do anything...
Any thoughts?

Re: Vortec Cyclone?
ya. my thoughts....
don't bother.
they don't do anything.
they actually hurt performance a bit because the restrict the air intake, and also, arguabley, they chop up the air which is no good in my books....

Re: Vortec Cyclone?
Their selling point is that they improve atomization by causing a 'spiral' in the intake, which would in theory improve performance and economy, but they also restrict flow, which does the opposite. I wouldn't spend the money on it.

Re: Vortec Cyclone?
i had one of those and it didn't seem to do anything for me. i didn't get the EXACT results tho, just goin by feeling.
i had an "electronic supercharger" that blows air in tho. and when idling it would shut my car off but it would actually help when i got into the higher rpms.

No, it doesn't do anything.
I always wondered if the fact that the marketers called it Cyclone was a sly nudge. One of the suggested etymologies for the term cyclone was the greek word klykoma, referring to the coils of a snake or ...Snake Coils
