Pre-Intercooler heat sink pipe?

So I was looking online for some stuff to hard pipe my air box, and came across this.

Pre-Intercooler Cooling Pipe

I haven't seen anything on the forums here about this. Has anyone else came across a pipe like this?

It's a great concept..... But is realistically just a way to separate you from your money.

Even if you could find a location to install it where ambient air would pass over it readily, it is just a straight through pipe. Intercooler's have turbulators inside that disrupt the boosted air's laminar flow and force it to pass over more surface area to facilitate cooling efficiency.

At higher boost levels, the air is moving faster and get hotter quickly. It will simply pass through that pre-pipe faster than the pipe could really affect the temp.

Plus the ad doesn't give any real test numbers.

I agree with Preloader.

Although many guys would pay more than $40 for something that looks cool and does absolutely nothing.

I kinda thought that it wouldn't do a lot. Its just too small to be productive. I don't even know if there's a spot to fit it lol

Just found it, figured I'd share it

Im sure it does something but i don't know how much. I was just looking at my buddie's volvo with a straight 6 turbo in it and i saw these in it stock.

I got at least 50 extra horsepower with Tornado Air :: More Power, More Mileage!

You should pair that with the fuel line magnets. You'd probably net another 25 at least.

Only if I win a couple million from the lottery... Maybe not even then lol

Let's not forget about some high quality muffler bearings. The unobtainium ones are worth ~40hp.

How about the classic tornado or whatver it was called aka a disc that looks like a fan propeller that you put inside your air intake to restrict it.

Well, thats not what they claim it does, but that is what it does.
