It is funny how they say that you probably won't get 20-30 hp .
But I'm interested would it work in theory?

This stuff has been around forever! It is such crap!!!!! Don't stick things in the intake tube! It will just restrict airflow. Such a Marketing Gimmick Rip-Off.

Stack three of them inline for a cool hundred horsepower! Much cheaper than a supercharger...

Loolk at it with common sense goggles - if horsepower was that easy to achieve - why would things like a supercharger which might give you another 70 horsepower require all that machinery and cost 3 or 4 thousand dollars? Or conversely, why wouldn't the factory engineers (after spending millions of dollars to design an engine,) not add another $2 piece of swirly plastic for a nearly free hp gain?
