Snake oil of genuine benefit?

Snake oil, does absolutely nothing on a turbo'd direct injection car. There is no mixing of fuel and air in the intake manifold, and boost is already shoving air into the manifold as fast as the throttle body will let it. Adding another inch of metal does nothing, save your time and money.

In theory they help, but in reality the small amount of extra volume they allow in the manifold its not at all worth the returns. As in its like Fractions of horse power. I haven't seen any modern(new er than mid 90's) car have any meaningful benefits. Save you money.

My thoughts. It’s unlike reputable tuners offering things like this.

The benefits are minimal at best, not worth the money.
