cheers for the heads up! A near miss me thinks

 

[matty J]

why was the reason you was looking to get one???

They don't make as much noise in the bin!! Sound's like your engine is about to die when you have it installed. Never again, so glad I went back to standard.

Waste of money and time trying to work out exactly what it does when driving around. You pay all that money for a bit of noise under the bonnet - sounds like somebody sucking through a straw, it's bloody awful!!!

Just say no.

If it doesn't make the car feel slower therefore it must be faster

looks good on paper doesnt it an rather tempting hence the post, I had read all that just needed to know if someone actually fitted and used one. Thing is if the device is that good why dont all manufacturers fit them as standard?

You have answered your own question.

 

[DougClio16v]

Oh yea looks the bollox on paper all this malarki about sucking air into the manifold under acceleration which makes the spring oscilate bla bla bla.. When you have it on your car I found it does nothing apart from make a racket. You don't need anymore advice. Don't buy it is all the advice you need!
