Its spare HP in case you loose FWD for some reason. Only designed to get you to the next service station.

Add it to my list with the "tornado" and "water for gas" please.............They didn't even bother to change the fac.....I mean advertising. Someday in a beautiful future people will stop trying to MARKET 4 feet of aluminum tube for $250. If you like the looks, no foul there, but I can't see any other reason to get one.

I think that "misprint" by AiRaid, was discussed way back. Maybe in the "Great Air Intake Dyno" debate.

I do remember someone saying something like, "who would believe or buy a product from a company that does not know the difference".

Someone also mentioned vendors who indicate a a 2005 model year, as questionable.

Hey! The tornado is not completely useless, it's good for slicing tomatoes.

I just ran across it looking at upgrades for air intake. You would think if you paid for advertisement you would want it right. My parts computer at work obviously is programed by someone like these people. If you look up a A/C compressor it asks if the car has A/C. Come to think of it I've never said no. Wonder what I would get for parts if I did.I'll have to try that Monday.
