Aero Turbine Muffler - BS or for real?

Does everyone remember the muffler with the spinning blade that claimed it sucked the exhaust out?

Well, this Aero turbine muffle is free of that gimick but may have some snake-oil of it's own. You be the judge.

Are these mufflers the real deal, or are they too good to be true?

Your take, please.

I don't know about that but I do find the charts interesting. Notice how the ranges are set so the green bars appear to be twice the length of the reds and how they extend past the halfway mark.

A 2-4 mile diff in mpg could occur for a variety of reasons.

They are visually trying to make the difference in mileage appear greater than it is.

They're as effective as the electric supercharger.

Reminds me to check the air pressure in my tires. Change of season typically brings this on.

increased performance, reduced temperature, and increased fuel economy,


lol, reduced temp on the exhaust is definately not a power trick, au contraire ,you want your exhaust as hot as possible for max power not as cool as possible...

and increased performance AND increased economy all in one, that's another contradiction in terms...

might as well remove the fuel tank, and boast how the weight reduction of that removal will result in better 0 to 60 numbers...

just a stab in teh dark here. but Could this product be for real.

I mean if i Installed this product and replaced my stock, restrictive, sucky and really quite muffler on my standard, unmodified BRAND-X Vehicle. i would see a performance gain.
Isnt this what every Muffler company says about their product?

Dump the crap the factory put on your car and use our less restrictive exhaust and you get a performance gain?!

You mean you do not use snake oil? Out here in the desert it is a necessity to keep the sidewinders from squeaking.

but it wouldn't make it run more fuel efficient.
