Vortex Generator
"Studies have shown stationary vortex generators greatly increase an engines airflow and fuel atomization for more horsepower (up to 15%) and better fuel effeciency (up to 30% increase). The idea is simple, spiraling air moves with greater velocity and efficiency through a cars intake tract. More air=More power, its that simple. Additionally the spiraling air atomizes the fuel better allowing for more complete combustion. Your cars computer reads the changes and compensates by eliminating excess fuel delivery, resulting in better fuel effeciency. Also, beleive it or not, vehicles with Auto Trans will shift smoother than ever" Ok....I did this simple little mod two weeks ago. Just for giggles. Increase power....YES! Especially 1st to 2nd at about 3500 rpm..... Increase fuel efficiency......Well I did not go from 16mpg to 21mpg...but I have noticed and tracked and increased range of 60miles per tank and an increase of 1.2-1.5 mpg.....nothing wrong with that at these prices.... BTW...gas futures halted trading twice today.....now @70+ per barrel. aye carumba!!

Yes, I am interested in this mod.
Is this a DIY project. How much, and where can I buy? 60miles extra per tank his huge...net savings of $11 if you fill the tank up with premium. If the x5 gives 15mpg than that equates to 4 gallons of saving x $2.75/gallon for grand total of $11.00 Hard to believe that this little contraption would save you this much money. I am definately willing to experiment.

How is this thing supposed to create a vortex in your intake when you still have to force the air through the intake runners and through the valves before it gets to the combustion chamber. Also fuel isn't even added until very close to the cylinder chamber.
Personally I wouldn't add anything that hampers the flow of air to the motor. Your just adding a restriction, imo.
