Wow, couple that with a tornado system, you have a tornado effect entering the air system and another one exiting the exhaust. But I don't see how the exhaust would twist inside the muffler. I can only see how it could twist once it exits the muffler. I would like to see a demo of the product, using colored smoke and a clear muffler so you can actually tell if it twists inside.

Looks like the same principle as Aero Turbine as posted on this thread. The Aero-Turbine is alot cheaper than the Zoomers Short Barrel Exhaust.

I'm with Eddie on this one! And you know, if you rigged a little propeller onto ANY tail pipe it would spin. Would it add 15-25 more HP? If it did I'd set one up on my BTG cat/back duals tomorrow - cause with a dual exhaust it should add 30-50HP, right?

Ever seen those trailer hitch caps with the boat props on 'em - the ones spinning off the back of many a pickup or SUV? How much HP do you think those add?[:I][}]

Of course you realize this will only work in Kansas and only if your name is Dorthy and you have a dog named Toto. [?]

For every action there's an opposite and equal reaction. So the force it exerts is driving the vehicle forward. Eventually, you could just shut off your engine and the prop would drive your vehicle endlessly forward. []

And, for a limited time, with each purchase you get a cap with a propellor on top!

[:I] I always thought the propeller on the hitch was supposed to make you go faster! I thought I saw a wind-up version once. LOL [][)]

I've seen people around here take those propellers off the hitch and put a boat back there to push them down the road........

OK, we're all making jokes about propellers on cars, but if any of you are Formula 1 fans you might remember the Brabham BT46B "fan" car from 1978. It was basically Brabham's answer to the wildly successful Lotus ground effects cars, one of which ultimately took Mario Andretti to the World Driving Championships title that same year. Anyway, the Brabham had this huge fan on the back of the car that was designed to suck all the air out from under the car, forcing it to the ground for better traction in the corners. Basically reinventing the famous Chaparral fan cars of the 60s.



Supposedly you could rev the engine at idle and the car would actually squat about 3/4" because of the vacuum created. In it's only race, not only did it run away from the competition, but even with a good deal of oil dropped on the track the car didn't seem to be negatively effected - Niki Lauda trounced the competition and the car was immediately banned from competition.

So maybe we don't need this little prop exhaust for more power, but rather as a means to create enough downforce as to allow us the ability to outhandle Mini Coopers!

That's it, six sucking fans are going underneath my GT [?]
