There are tons of things out there that don't work. It must be a pretty profitable business and it's been going on for many years. Some people swear they see an improvement in performance, gas mileage, etc. but usually it's psychological, the placebo effect. Ever notice how your car runs better after you wash it?
There once was an ignition amplifier box made by a very reputable company (back in the 60's). It was a very hot item and claimed a huge improvement over a stock ignition. Everybody wanted one and they were paying big bucks for them. I took one apart with the intention of duplicating it. The housing was heavily epoxied together, so I had to destroy it to get it apart. No big deal because I was going to build a bunch of them anyway. Turns out the box was empty inside. A few wires going in one side and out the other.
