These guys have a late night infomercial. It look like it might help a
really old inefficient motor (carb era) but in a modern (FI) motor it
looks to negate any gains by making for more restrictions.

Id like to copy one for testing, but I'd thing swirling the intake
would benefit most from four individual units, one to each runner
right as it goes into the cylinder.
