   done a little research about these things but really dont understand how they work, apparently they improve the pull away by making it smoother but dont see how. could someone please explain?

   they dont work hence why noone really uses them and the company was forced by law to change their claim.

   my mums got one on her car, forget any performance gain to be honest, your just talkin bout couple extra miles per gallon. but i wouldnt recommend it unless you get the optional slencer with it. they offer these cuz they sound shit, totally.

   they do work with hondas, equalizes the pressure in the inlet manifold which helps air to fuel ratio for the injection process so cars theoretically pull smoother, will not work on applications other than SOME hondas, but to be fair do work despite there irratic noise that drves u up the wall

    lol they don't work AT ALL on any car, hence (as ratty has already said in this thread and about 40000 others) why the company was forced BY LAW to stop claiming that they do .
