Has anyone heard of the Turbolator Power Exhaust Tips? I found them at JC Whitney, refer to the following link:
http://www.jcwhitney.com/product.jhtml?CATID=123925&BQ=jcw2
Anyway, they claim to improve fuel economy by 8.3% for more power and better performance.
This is a quote from their product description:
"Patented self-adjusting internal control valve responds to RPM load and temperature to equalize pressure and regulate exhaust flow. During high exhaust flow, the internal valve opens to let engine gasses escape freely. At lower RPM, the internal valve closes to regulate exhaust flow and improve engine performance. The result is increased horsepower and torque, improved fuel economy and less harmful emissions—without having to modify original engine specifications. Must be welded to exhaust pipe. Verified/CARB #D-22.
Test proven to improve gas mileage and reduce emissions! Independent tests by 2 laboratories certified by the Federal EPA show that the Turbolator® improves fuel economy up to 8.3%, reduces hydrocarbons by 14% and reduces carbon monoxide by 12%."
I know there's been a lot of products, like the Tornado, that are just a scam. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of anything like this, or has tried this.
edit: This is the link to the manufacturer’s site http://www.ultrafitexhaust.com/products.asp?target=products_turbolator.htm
