Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2006Vortex Air Intake Fins for CR-V
I have a CR-V and noticed these vortex fins. They go in your air intake and supposedly improve power & mpg by spinning the air. The manufacturers claim that more air gets into the combustion chamber. Are these worth the time & money? (15-minutes to install, ~US$25) -Alex > I have a CR-V and noticed these vortex fins.

Don't throw away your money. bob > I have a CR-V and noticed these vortex fins. They go in your air > intake and supposedly improve power & mpg by spinning the air.

(NO) What if the fins come loose and get ingested by your motor? Have you tried Googling for consumer tests on the "Turbinator" or "Tornado" devices??

I can assure you they work wonderfully in making sure more of your money gets into the seller's wallet. > Are these worth the time & money? (15-minutes to install, ~US$25) Wouldn't be worth it if they gave it away for free and installed for you. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Thanks for the tips. Someone told me they saw a TV program about these kind of devices. They ended up putting it in the "snake oil" category. -Alex >I have a CR-V and noticed these vortex fins.
