Has anyone heard anything about the tornado air system inserts? I have heard several things but I want to know if they are worth the money. Some people say that they help dramatically but others say they only get 1 more MPG. Do yall know anything about them?

those things are junk do not buy them they are not worth the 50 cents of aluminum that they are made of. get a k&n, free flowing exhaust put liek a flow master or something like that on there and it will help, plugs, wires, and make sure that your tires are properly inflated

absolutely, piece of crap. i bought one for my 98 and the thing wouldn't stay in place. i kept checking it and everytime i pulled my air hose off, it was laying sideways in the tube. stick with exhaust and throttle body spacer.

I have buddy with one on a Tahoe, he says he gets slightly better mileage on the Highway, in the city he says he doesn't notice any thing different (power, or MPG). I agree with CoyoteRoede as far as the freeflowing exhaust coupled with an intake for performance, fuel efficiency.
