No way!!!! That could cause tear in the very fabric of reality.

I heard that thing runs with 300% more efficiency than the Flux-capacitor

I have the HyperActive Flux-Capacitor and it works great. I get almost 75mpg!

I hesitate to even mention the 700% increase in fuel efficiency I have experienced since I installed the Trail Duty Plutonium Oxide Injector.

Maybe we all should e-mail Lee Hawkins our scientific findings on the use of The Flux Capacitor and Plutonium Oxide injector so he can have a broader range for comparison of empirical data in his control group, for further research & development on turning ordinary aluminum cans into recyclable energy and fuel saving devices!

It's a f**king miracle! Probably increeases horsepower tremendously too!

Ok guys, this may sound stupid, and maybe I missed something somewhere.. but no one seemed to discuss whether or not this thing really helped gas mileage??

You might want to try the link on ree's first post and take whatever valuable inferences you may from the sarcastic responses herein.

I get the feeling that there is no formal opinion out on them yet. However, the good folks here at H2Source seem to think there would be no advantage to buying one other than the fact that it might add a small percentage of bling to the engine bay, and the sound of rushing water to your wallet.

Hell no....first of all you get the product delivered to you as a flat piece of metal, then you have to measure the intake tube so that you can cut the piece and fit it accordingly, almost forgot, you'll need to bend the fins also and form the shape of the vortex. You'll need to be careful not to overbend the fins or it won't work (oxymoron!). If you f**k up along the way such as by cutting too much away or bending it too much to fit it in the intake then good luck getting the POS out!! Do yourself a favour, scrap the POS air intake GM placed there and get an Airaid or K&N system with along with a high quality MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor), you'll get much more punch with every acceleration and your engine will thank you! You might even gain a couple of extra MPG's.

Whats an oxymoron you ask? Here are some examples:

arrogant humility, Artificial Grass, artificial intelligence, assistant supervisor, astronomically small,
athletic scholarship, Aunt Jemima Light, Auto Pilot, authentic replica, authentic reproduction, authoritarian anarchy, awfully good, awfully nice, Awfully pretty, Light traffic, limited immunity, limited incursion, limited lifetime guarantee, Limited Freedom, LIMITED NUCLEAR WAR, linear curve, liquid crystal, liquid gas, liquid metal, liquid natural gas, liquid smoke, lite beer, literal interpretation, literary illiterates, little big, little big horn, little bit big, little deceptive, little giant...

It doesn't help mileage, all it provides is an increased risk of damage to your engine.

The goal of a good intake system is to provide the proper fuel to air ratio for output demand, with liquid fuel the system atomizes the liquid and provides the right balance of air to support combustion. It of course is much more complicated than this because you have to deal with flame propogation, surface area, quench ratios and of course fluid dynamics.

One challenge is to keep the fuel atomized because the smaller the mist particles, the greater their surface area and the greater the efficiency of combustion. GM developed the Vortec cylinder head design to optimize the fluid dynamics of the fuel/air mixture but it is only after extensive testing and optimum conditions that the Vortec works well at all.

There is NO WAY an upstream mounted diffuser can impart a worthwhile vortex that will sustain through the intake path, much less the intake valve cycles. If anything this device will impair flow and decrease atomization of the fuel/air mix resulting in less output for the same amount of fuel.

You can believe whomever you want, I'm an Engineer of large rotating machines and have a fair amount of experience with turbines and IC engine design

Personally, I prefer the Continum Transfunctioner over the Flux Capacitor! I have seen an increase that approaches unquantifiable. Essentially, the last time I refueled was in 2004!
