if you fitted that in a snorkel and it spins at up to 60,000rpm and something went down the snorkel it would disintegrate and probably blow the the snorkel apart and the bits go down towards the engine

i think if they were that good the makers would fit them as standard
cheers

So its the air that is getting sucked in that makes it spin, it doesnt spin on its own, so it be better not being there.

Snake oil :D

THATS THAT THEN :!:
ANOTHER EBAY PIECE OF RUBBISH.

THOUGHT IT WAS A COPY SIMILAR TO HICLONE.
REALISED AFTER THAT HICLONE IS A SOLID DEVICE THAT SWIRLS THE AIR IN A SPECIFIC WAY :)

Mine was fully ajustable, facing forward like a safaritop it had more grunt. Facing back less, facing the side about the same. Lost the top a while back so its still backwards for now. (all at higher speeds, no difference at slow)
