more like a gimmick rather than a fix
The engine lost a few HP at higher RPM's, that's true and that's what I experience. But oddly enough it also gained torque in the low RPM range.
Result: it makes it easier to drive at low engine speed = less consumption/ emissions. And with easier I mean: smoother and less 'explosive'.
