UltraFit's "Turbolator ®" can save you up to 8.5% on fuel costs ! At first glance, Turbolator ® looks like a stylish, high quality stainless steel exhaust tip. But inside the unit there is a patented, self-adjusting control valve that can increase fuel economy by up to 8.5%. It can also help reduce hydrocarbon emissions and carbon monoxide emissions by up to 14% and 12% respectively. How Turbolator ® works is fairly simple. Inside there is a valve with an aircraft grade spring that responds to the exhaust flow. In an idle situation, for instance, the exhaust flow is low and as a result the valve stays in a semi-closed position. This helps to hold the exhaust gases in the catalytic converter longer, resulting in the gases being more completely burnt. At highway speeds the valve opens and normal engine efficiencies come into play. From a design point, Turbolator ® comes in four stylish exhaust tip designs: straight, angled, and straight and angled rolled. Its construction is double wall 304 and 409 stainless steel and offers both great looks and longevity. There is also an inter-cooled tip that protects the exterior finish from discoloration. Turbolator ® is also available as an in-pipe unit. Finally, it also comes in all diameters to fit most North American and Foreign SUV's, light trucks, and vans. Environmentally, Turbolator ® reduces Total Carbon Dioxide produced by gasoline powered vehicles by anywhere from 20% to 50%. Or, roughly 9,000 pounds of carbon dioxide emission per vehicle, per year!

I don't know. I guess in a stick it would help kill the spit n pop on downshifts??? I don't know why but allways liked the flapper tips on the trucks. |
hmmm... i dunno... sounds interesting? maybe some pointless concept:doh: or maybe its a product full of :bs: ? i sure wouldnt buy one until other people have bought it, tried it, and can vouch for it... who wants to be test subjects? i sure done |
Unless your a true green environmentalist or having trouble passing smog I don't even know why we would want this. It doesn't do anything but lower emissions (if its claims are true) and probably takes a few HP away. I mean from a performance standpoint we are always looking to open up our exhaust and intake so why would you stick a valve in your tailpipe that blocks exhaust flow:doh: |
:bs: |

1 Attachment(s) The only real way to run that device would be with a KaleCo 'O' pipe. With those two togather --- please that thing would rock... See the picture below, and you'll see what I mean. Ron |
Bwa'ha haha....LMFAO!! I've never seen one of those before. I still say you need the muffler bearing though. |
I like how the ad says that it's an 'intriguing device'. It's intriguing alright. It intrigues me as to who would actually buy it. |
You know what, I think KaleCo sales muffler bearing, along with exhaust filters, and cross drilled brake lines... :lmao: They even have a budget lowering kit that consist of 4 nails !!! Ron |
Do they have chemlight batteries, too? I need some of those. |
i have some ultra rare golden headlight fluid to coat them muffler bearings for sale :lala: :lala: :lala: :doh: |
I'm sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but it's just another "gimmick"! Your catalytic converter was designed to do all what that tailpipe does! The converter has a chemical reaction inside that "converts" the HC,CO, and NOx gases to water and oxygen. All newer vehicles ( 96 and up) have OBD 2 equipped computers and emissions controls that are more and more improved, complexed and advanced each year! So, there's NO need for this "tailpipe"! Even on older vehicles! A properly running older vehicle with all attached factory emissions devices will have NO problems passing emissions or hurting the environment as much. This is NO :bs: either! Remember that the older the vehicle, the more likely it's going to wear and collect carbon in the motor, thus increasing emissions. Nothing is perfect! Even a newer car will have some unburnt gases pass through the cat ( or cats ), but at a VERY small number. I just wanted to point that it's just a :bs: item! Don't waste your money! There's NO need to add this item to your car for more emissions reduction! Blinker fluid is non toxic, bye the way! :doh: And muffler bearings carry lifetime warranties! :lala: |

you know what you really need is that t 16 hyper drive nubian |
I put a flux capacitor underneath my hood....WOW!! I get like 1000 miles per gallon. I highly recommend it. I think it is made by MGM, but i'm not sure..do a search.. Dave |
Doc actually has a few "tweaked" flux capacitors in his garage just lying there! Give him a buzz. He doesn't have a computer. You only need garbage/waste to make it run! Easy 2 hour install! He can get you the brackets and belt drive kit to make it easy to set up! Good on a stock L98 motor or even a L03 for a 1000hp! :blah: :huh: :lmao: :nod: |
yeah wouldn't you have to change your muffler fliud with that though?:lala: |
Yeah I added Mr. Fusion to my Flux Capacitor & it works great!!! :D :lmao: :lmao: |
since we are on the subject about fuel savings. what about that tornade fuel saver anyone tried it? if so does it help |
so on a flux compasitor you run on hydrogen making it emissions free right? mgm is great |

Originally posted by B4Ctom1 snake oil I agree. I've got one on my Tundra & I haven't gain any MPG from it. .........Then again I do drive with a lead foot:doh: :D |
acescarrsRS, Geeze, I LOVE the color on your Camaro! I had used my garbage for my flux capacitor. That way, I never have to worry about putting out the garbage for the trash man to pick up. I also don't have to worry about the dogs getting into it either! :nod: :lol: |

Yes, and I'm surprised that no Mods have told us to shut up about it. I think we should end it.........now. :lala: Among other things too.... cross drilled brake lines, muffler bearings, muffler fluid, blinker/directional fluid,etc.! But It's good to poke fun at those "fuel saver" thingys! It makes us laugh, in turn is good for us! :lol: :lmao: :nod: |
Originally posted by LO3Jeff since we are on the subject about fuel savings. what about that tornade fuel saver anyone tried it? if so does it help "Hurricane fuel saver", It's not as strong as the "Tornado" one, but still helps in the MPG! |
snake oil |
yeah, what about "snake oil"? I use shark oil in my gas tank. It's on sale now at Wal Mart for like $10. Claim to give about 10 more MPG. |
I put a turbo with nitros on my flux capacitor and i only feed it garbage from ritzy neighborhoods!! it will kick your flux capacitor's a$$!!:p |
As much as I like the humor, :D I think this thread has outlived its useful life. I will allow a serious review of this product on the review board...feel free to repost and I will keep it edited. Thanks! |
