So I was browsing through ebay this morning, and I came across this listing.

Can anyone explain if this thing actually works, and if it really does NOT do any harm to the engine. and why it is so cheap.

I would not mind some more hp, i just dont want to harm my engine, or simply buy useless crap from ebay.

Thanks guys

It wont work.
The way they worked with hondas was that they like tricked the computer into thinking it saw cooler air or something like that.
I dont remember the specifics, but everyone said NOT to get it.

I think it will work at least for a couple hp at the expense of engine life

definitely would NOT recommend it... anything that tricks the computer into modifying AFRs is not a good thing. Theres a reason the fuel maps are setup the way they are.
