Yep you'll get an extra 40hp too if you add snake oil to your motor!
No, they aren't good.

No, they are nothing but a gimmic. Some will say the condition the flow but when you think of the air path and what it goes through any "swirl" effect is long gone by the time it get to where it would count. The restrict flow, yes only a tiny amount but they still do.
Not sure where the recommend to fit them on a Zook but it's not going to improve the fuel atomisation or increase air flow.

it reduces the friction caused by the indicator flashing so it means less power is used to make them flash. therefore more power for going forward

Alternator doesn't draw as much power from then engine thereby allowing more to be sent to the wheels

Mate the hiclones are silly, to be strait foward. you would be MUCH better off with a snorkel, some nice clean cool air is all you need.

did you have to adjust your powerband to suit the cam splints or is it the new self learning adjustable powerband?

did a bit of a google & came across another example, it's called the bundy hi-clown & claims a 640% power increase. http://www.4wdaction.com.au/forum/viewt ... 0f6a4f86c0i'd be investing all my money in future product developments in that company fourshore
