Link does not work !!

You doubled the hyper text (HTTP) in the web link. Remove one and the link will work directly to the HOME page of AutoAnything.


As far as experience with it. NO, I'm skeptical since the DOE, AAA, most State Attorney General's state there is nothing on the market that is worth the cost, to improve mileage (and most do not work). But the customer reviews on the website are interesting, if they are real.

 

This link should work.

 

We use to sell them at work.

Out name for them was the Magic Beans.

As for my own personal experience save your money. Things like this, the magnets for the fuel lines, electric Turbos [not counting the one BMW is working on, fuel additives and tornado's are all snake oil.

There are many things that claim power and better MPG that under controlled conditions may work but in real life have minimum effects.

Even some get called out by the government like Slick 50 and Split Fire Plugs on their claims and they have to change them.

The reality is most things that get more MPG are already on cars as the MFG's are spending billions to increase MPG. If they could put these things on and make more MPG they would be on every car built.

Note things like K&N air intakes do work but they do have issues with drive by noise rules set by the government. Cars have to be so quiet as they pass by a test station. This rule alone killed off most cowl fed intakes in the 70's. The noise rule is also a problem for many tires that want to be sold OE.

Either way do not get sucked in on this item. The result will be slim to none and if they were that good you would see a lot more of them around.

 

It's worth it to the salesman.

 

May not increase MPG but it will add commission.

 

alot of good and hilarious answers and thanks db/sb for the fixed link. i figured it was "snake oil" i dont understand how anything will let a car run 87 if its required 92+ because i can totally see a new vette pumpin 87 O lmao.. but hey! this is why i joined and help support the forum! thanks guys! i have 4 hhr owners in my neighborhood 1 which has the same car as me and we discuss hhr parts n what not gave all of them the website and told them to join up! its always good to have a real bit of information its getting harder and harder to really trust reviews anymore... but the one thing i did purchase as far as an adder which claimed mpg gain (which im not too concerned with mpg seein as how i live 5 mins from work) is the jet performence module. and so far its done everything its claimed. The car is completely different not drastic but enough to where its really enjoyable to drive. like for instance when im doin about 65-70 and i put it down it kicks to 3rd and acts like it raging. With the chip it does the half gear kickdown (dont know how to really explain it) and actually starts pulling up! the 60-80 zone is really nice it just goes!! nor more 5k jumps when flooring its hits at 4k and you can feel the pull difference with the chip. and the shifting is flawless. i know the trifecta tune is obviously the top choice but i have to save up for that one, this will do for now and ill pass the chip onto my neighbor when i go get the trifecta.

 

Jet on the HHR

 

I work in the performance aftermarket and while some things like the Jet mod work the gains are modest in most applications. Turbo engines always see the greatest gains.

But the truth is some items over promise and under deliver. The company has never got on my case but I am straight up with people and do not want them to expect more than they should.

The other issue I see is where people try to add a cold air intake, module and exhaust and try to add up all the claimed HP. The reality is all these things just do not all add up like that.

 

does it work
