"TD5 with Van Aeken chip. “The Discovery accelerated more cleanly from cruising speeds, and planting my foot firmly on the floor produced the sort of high-speed acceleration I'd expect from a V8. I reckon fuel consumption has improved by around 10% overall. The new system made a very noticeable difference to high speed acceleration. The discovery was romping away from other vehicles on long motorway inclines and still pulling well when it reached the top."
Michael Wright: Service Manager, Nene Overland
"My Range Rover has certainly got more torque since fitting the Vortex exhaust. Fully loaded for our holidays with roof rack and trailer, we made the journey from Peterborough to Cornwall on only £21.00 of fuel! I was astounded by the fuel economy!"
"It does what they say it does, and I would be happy to fit them to any customer’s vehicle."
Mr Patrick Booth, Bucks
"The best thing I've fitted to the vehicle is the Vortex exhaust! Driving the Bio diesel Range Rover is now like driving a petrol car. The vehicle feels lighter and has definitely got more get up and go!"
THE M.O.T CENTRE: Cornwall : Volvo 760
"We tested a Volvo 760 and was immediately aware the throttle was much more snappy and livelier. On 2 journeys, one to London the other to Wales there was a fuel saving of 27%."

"I have been running a 4 litre Cherokee for over 2yrs. I use it for work and pleasure and also tow a 4 berth caravan. Usually doing about 300 miles a week, it only did 17mpg and cost around £63 a week fuel. In 2006 I had it converted to LPG at a cost of £2000. The fuel was about 40% cheaper £52.94 a week. Fuel has risen since and in March I was on a jeep web site and came across an article on the Vortex extractor exhaust the claims were impressive I decided I had to have one of these. After fitting the Exhaust the results were remarkable."

"Land Rover Discovery: The Discovery accelerated more cleanly from cruising speed and planting my foot on the floor produced the sort of acceleration I expected from a V8, as I used the new found acceleration quite a number of startled drivers found themselves floundering in the discovery wake."
John Deere: Tractor
"Because of the varied task of this vehicle it is proving difficult to obtain accurate fuel test. The owner says it is livelier and the turbo stays in, instead of cutting in and out giving the feeling of more power under your foot."
Charles Kilpatrick: series 2a Land Rover
"I had a Vortex Exhaust fitted to my Series 2a Land Rover and the difference was immediate and very, very impressive!! The book quoted top speed for for my Landy is 67 mph at 4,000rmp. With this unit plus overdrive I now get 75 mph at 3,000rmp!! If that is not impressive I do not know what is? Also, the lowdown torque range has both increased and expanded higher up the rev range, almost a flat line for 60rmp (1,200rmp 1,800rmp). I can not speak highly enough about this product and I do so from personal experience. My old (41 yrs) Landy now drives almost like a new car, my need to change gear is greatly reduced making driving so much easier and enjoyable."
Horse box Hospital: Chris Ratter
"The Vortex exhaust gave my Rally Land Rover a significant performance improvement across the rev range and gave me a massive power increase in the mid range which was very useful in rallying. The Vortex gave me power I had not been able to achieve before"
Total Auto Service: Yoville John Gerry
"We fitted a Vortex to a Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI. The results were impressive. The Focus now has an increase of 30% in mileage on a tank of fuel. We also fitted the Vortex to a Shogun V6, I am happy with the results, not only did we have a massive power gain, we have also gained an impressive 25% fuel saving."
Bill Plowes: MISUBISHI SHOGUN.
"I have an old Mitsubishi Shogun 2800 (L Reg). Nice old girl, in the past I jumped in her in the morning started her up put her into automatic and put my foot on the accelerator, when she was ready we moved. She plodded around town and no-one notices, take her on the motorway and we stay in the inside line with arm out of the window pretending we are going for a cruise, this is because she won’t go any faster. I watch the fuel needle moving fast than we were in a downward motion.
"Well all that has changed now I had one of those fingmagibs put on, now it pulls away when I tell it. I travelled in the middle lane of the motorway (being a nuisance) and the fuel needle stay put (well I wish). I feel so confident about her now I recently took her to France, Belgium and Holland, on a little round trip (business included) from East Sussex and only filled her up once (Brilliant). It is like my old mum when she had new hips it gave her a new lease of life.
“Since having the Vortex fitted, my fuel consumption has gone from 6-8 miles per litre to 10-12 miles per litre.”
Claude: JEEP CHEROKEE.
“I'm getting a fuel saving of 19.5% (29.4 mpg down to 24.6 mpg) with the Vortex and noticeably more power particularly on towing.”
