its just letting more or less air in and can hurt it in the long run, along with frying the ecu (i think)

A waste of time and money. All it does is make your PCM think the air coming into it is colder, making you run richer (and waste fuel).

Like nitehawkjcb said. Those things are just a good way to make your car run rich. If you buy one of those don't forget to buy a bag of ice because you will punch yourself in the face shortly after.
