I didn't get the reported 35 HP, But I did notice around 15HP increase.. which I'm happy with for 10 bucks. I definitely see increase in MPG.. i get around 40 MPG now .. tested when I drove up to LA. This is a must get mod.. I dont know why people don't know about it yet.. its simply amazing. All my support!

I wonder why the Acura engineers went through all the trouble of increasing the displacement of the Type-S to 3.5L to get the extra power when all they really needed was a $10 vortex generator. I guess they did not study much during school.

If power was that easy then all manufacturers would have been running vortex generators years ago.

No "balls" are needed!! Just a lack of brains and a willingness to throw money away . . . Give the money to the Salvation Army (or other worthy cause)-- you will not improve your car's performance-- buy YOU will feel better. . .

What a pushover......he is happy with 15Hp for 10 bucks!
I say, if your not getting the full 35HP and at least 45 MPG then you should demand your money back I mean its printed right there in black and white, they wouldnt say it if it wasnt true, hold them to there promises.......or consider a lawsuit for crying out loud what is this country coming to.

These snake oil gizmos are collosal crap.

Independent magazines have tested them over and over again and found them to be a sham.

If it was that easy to do, don't you think Acura or any other mftr would do it to raise their CAFE rankings?

These guys are laughing all the way to the bank.

I have a better idea!

Send your money to a charity of your choice.

Then buy a CD called "Vroom", put it in the CD play and pretend you are getting the power they said you would get.

SNAKE OIL!

If it is to good to be true...guess what, it is.
