i believe it is yet another unit designed to trick your car into thinking its getting colder air. pieces of shit, and no they are worthless unless you want to mess up your car...

Based on their description of "get more fuel to your motor", I see your everyday fuel mileage going to shit. Wouldn't waste my money.

Yeah it makes your PCM think it's getting colder air than it really is, which will make it deliver more fuel and run richer than it needs to. Doesn't add any power and will have a negative affect on your gas mileage. Not worth a dime.

haha, again, anything that sounds to good to be true, is... funny because if you check out his comments, some of the people are so happy with it, i'm guessing they never felt how much 20hp difference can make, because even if it does make any difference at all, it is surely not 20HP.

Will this void my vehicle's warranty?
No, it will not void most warranties. If you have a very strict underwriter, the MAC Unit can easily be removed and reinstalled at a later time.

my friend got a 3rd gen eclipse a few months ago and bought something like that for it, it said that it increased horsepower, and it came in a box just like that but had a red and a black wire coming out of both sides. we opened up the box, and the wires went straight through. they sold my buddy a box with 2 wires in it lol he was pissed.. its not worth shit
