NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOO. Waste of Time, Money and Effort mate. They are a gimmick to rip people off of their Hard Earned! Similar to that of the 5p Resistor that people would sell on there claiming it would increase the bhp by up to 25bhp!

When it comes to these buses i am not sure what modifications can be done to increase the air flow but if you can, get a better air filter, panel or cone and that would work a lot better. Also if you can afford it a better Front Mounted Intercooler also helps.

Yes they are mate but they are not very big and a bigger FMIC always helps in performance modification

Its like the bloke on the car site,( hopefully some one made a sticky of it)

If its that impresive and does such Amazing improvements, dont you think the manufactures would have exploited its principals buy now.
They spend Millions on getting 1-2mpg more out of the engine, and some one is selling a bit for £25.----- hmmmmmmm----- me thinks
