The Mileage Maxx is a stationary vortex generator that fits inside your air intake tube.


CLICK

Obviously it's all lies, we don't need to open a can of worms about that fact, but does anyone know about what effects it could have?

I'm not buying one, I'd rather put all my banknotes in the drain and make a wish, but I'm curious to know if anyone has fitted one or just knows what it really does (if anything)?

Haha I've just read some of his feedback:

You get a flat non-formed cut out that requires you to form fit it to your make.


JUNK DO NOT BUY THIS IS A FLAT PIECE OF ALUNIUM DO NOT BUY WASTE OF TIME


Absolute rubbish you get what you pay for.


U have to bend it into shape, bottom line waste of time and money! Don't bother


Piece of nothing. Rip off merchant


Beware this crook will rip you off by severly inflating the handling charges.


Sounds like a nice guy.

Oh, there is a certain effect behind that and it seems to work very good,
otherwise it wouldn't been sold anymore:

Filling the seller's pockets! :ph34r: :P

If it was really as simple as adding a £6 part to increase power by 35HP and fuel consumption by 31%, then every motor manufacturer would be fitting them as standard! The fact that this isn't the case should tell you al lot! As Asphalt says, the only effect this thing has is lining the pockets of the crook selling it!

He certainly talks a good fight!!! have read feedback, mostly positive (maybe this product works psycologically? ;) ) did anyone esle notice that he marks people as unpaid item when they leave bad feedback??? and some of his items were rusty!? I think that one day he will rip off the wrong guy and they will come round and kick him a new :o not that I would ever do something like that :P :ph34r: :ph34r:

I say Kudos to the guy to be honest though. People ARE buying them, so he IS making money from them, hes got alot more positive feedback than negative so why not.

Its like Selling a box of Nails but listing them as coathangers, your not lieing, they are.

just a thought but it effects the air flow so surely youd have to fork out on a rolling road session to maximise its potential(if any) so it isnt that cheap for a mini!
