a trip to home depot for some tin...20 minutes with some snips and a pair of flat-edge metal bending pliers....its a DIY gig, not a $50 gig.
Besides, wouldn't spiraling the air in mess with the fuel injection patterns?

I'm very skeptical of this product. It may help mix the air with the fuel better because of the turbulence, but the only way you're going to make more hp is by pumping in more air, ie. turbo, blower. This thing doesn't do that. If anything, it would restrict the intake somewhat and you'd loose air. I've seen actual cases where people with 7.3L PS have added another snorkel to their air cleaner and the engine runs better with better economy because the restriction thru the single snorkel is eliminated. If this product was so great, wouldn't you think that an OEM would have thought of it before now?
