Electric Supercharger?

I found this website advertising an "Electric Supercharger", I guess it's some sort of electric replacement filter if you have an existing air intake (cold or ram).

Just wondering if this is for real? Anyone have experience with this?

It claims to produce 15-25 horse, still not sure if I buy that.

Dont know if its against the rules but heres the site anyway

autoaccessorystore.com

Thats what I thought. I had never heard of anything like this until I viewed this site. Sounded too good to be true anyway.

Electric WHAT?

Ahh....no.

In all seriousness......they dont work and are a total waste of money. Save your cash for something more worthwhile!
