There were things like that on the market for years.I remember guys that worked in slaughterhouses used to save the cow magnets from the butchered steers and put the magnets on their fuel line claiming it would do the same thing as that gadget selling now.

PS.............for anyone wondering what a cow magnet is,they are magnets about the size of a roll of quarters that the cattle farmers get the cows to swallow.They stay in the stomach and catch any metal from ****** wire,baling wire,fencing nails,etc so the cow's intestines don't get torn up,which would prove fatal.

me and my friends bought a "tornado" and hooked it up to a dyno back when I was in hs. Loss of like 4 hp, but they did sound cool I must say. My shop teacher saw it on the TV and made one himself and tried it. Yah, I can't believe autostores carry them even after popular mechanics did a mythbusters on them and said they sucked, whata stupid piece of trash.

What you need to do is: Paint it silver and added it to the exhaust. Sell it to the ricer crowd. Also include a cool sticker of a Tornado.

Here's an interesting article from Popular Mechanics regarding these "fuel savers."

No need for the product itself. Ricers think stickers add 150 HP each. Maybe a flashy light for the real hard-asses
