I'd be amazed if that gadget did much on the renesis.
You'd pretty much have to install it right in front of the throttle body, where the butterfly valve would undo most (if not all) of the change in the airflow caused by the gadget, and it's still a long way through the manifold before you hit the injectors (which is presumably where you'd need the air swirling to see any real gains.
With that effect nullified, puma pretty much nailed it that the only net effect would be a flow restriction in your intake, which would likely diminish performance.

A guy bought one and tried it out over on the Millenia forum (I'm also a Millenia S owner) and he pretty much proved it was garbage. I believe that it would only have an increase at high speed if any. Don't waste your time.

IMHO the tornado should actually prove effective and may increase fuel economy and performance in the right application.
From what I can gather from the info, it creates a "venturi effect" and research has shown that a device designed for this purpose not only aids in induction but also in exhaust applications.
Obviously the vehicle would have to be tuned correctly for the device to be successful.
Just my .02c.
