The concept is awesome.  It makes perfect sense.  But there's one MAJOR flaw that makes the hunk of metal worthless.

THE INTAKE SYSTEM IS NOT STRAIGHT.  There are too many turns, bends, and narrow portions.  These parts take that nice screw effect and break it up.

accullay if you put them tight befor they enter theengine then you will get the max performance cause it will become a "tornado" right before it enters the engine there for it will combined the air and fuel in a "tornado" and then you will get the better gas milage im not shure if i want one though my titan already gets 25 mpg

Umm if you are talking about the Tornado fuel saver, I have a link for you...   HERE
If you still want one after reading that, I have a bridge you may be interested in as well... 

Oh and the concept isn't great either. You want as little turbulance as possible in intake path, this thing introduces more turbulence, the swirling will not go around corners and such. The only place this type of turbulance would help is in the actual combustion chamber it's self as in twisted or swirl port heads for example.
