Test Results: Tornado Intake. Last week I yanked out my Tornado because tons of people have been asking if it works or not and I really couldn't give them a straight answer. Now, I can. With the Tornado, I got an average of 19 mpg and a best of 21 mpg. Without the Tornado, I got 22 mpg. And don't think I was easy on the car. I spent most of the past week driving with the a/c on because of the rising temps, I played Speed Racer on one of the nicely paved backroads in town one day, and did more stop and go driving than I usually do because of road construction around my school. Though I didn't get a chance to go to the track, I can't tell a difference in power with or without the Tornado.
My conclusion: The Tornado Intake is a $70 paper weight! If you have one, get rid of it! If you were thinking of buying one, don't!
