Remembering the "fuel line magnets" of the previous era that were designed to give you better MPG's as it "aligned the fuel molecules" or something along those lines.

Then came the gimmicks like
Slick 50,
Amsoil,
And a host of other products with marketing that convinced many people that if they didn’t use this or that product they’d regret it. Because “It’s far superior to all the proven products we’ve used for years.”

I remembered the Slick Teflon additive craze of 70s. Put in oil, radiator, tranny, rear end To gain performances. No stickers needed.

I was told by my older brother that adding these to rear side windows add 5 HP each.

Are you inferring that it didn't????

The makers of this product are so lazy, this doesn't even qualify as snake oil. This is more like shed snakeskin.

I see this has an expiration date on it, so I was curious. According to AI:

"AdPower stickers are Japanese-patented, adhesive, three-layer stickers applied to a vehicle's air cleaner box to reduce static electricity on the intake. By suppressing static buildup, it claims to improve airflow by 5-10%, enhancing combustion and acceleration while reducing engine noise. They are maintenance-free, lasting for 2 years."

Puh-leaze... Everybody knows that the only stickers that truly add horsepower are "VTEC" and "Type R".

Who is AL?

Take time with a wounded cam
'Cause it likes to squeal


Seriously though, the best thing for horsepower is a can of liquid Schwartz.

Everyone knows the best way to get more power and speed is to add racing stripes or flames to your paint job!
