VORTEKZ GENERATORS
Description
Vortex Generators are commonly used on aircrafts to prevent
downstream flow separation and improves their overall
performance by reducing drag. Vortekz Generators Delta Wings allow you to
achieve similar results on any vehicle you own in only a few
minutes.
Vortekz Generators can be used on all makes and models of
Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Trailers, RVs, and any vehicle where there is
downward air flow separation.

Based on previous research, the following side by side
comparison shows how using Vortekz Generators can
reduce the flow separation at the rear end that causes
drag using a One-Half Delta Wing design:

of the 10 Delta Wings are quick and easy with our placement
guides and 3M adhesive pads. The quick and easy 3 step
installation can be found on each guide. Below is the expanded
version where you only need alcohol and everyday household tape
to avoid hurting your vehicle's paint job.
*Please note when installing Vortekz Generators in
cold weather it is recommended to heat the surface of
the vehicle as well as Delta Wings and adhesive pads or
application will not work properly.
Determining your cars point of air flow
separation
The air flow separation point is when the air
flowing over your car hits the point where your cars body design declines.
On most vehicles it's the point where the rear of your roof
transitions to the back windshield.
The optimal point of installation would be 100MM before the
air flow separation point. On many vehicles the point is 100MM
from their roofline. In the case of a dome shaped vehicle
the Vortekz Generators Delta Wings should be optimally placed 100MM before the highest
point in the roof and will need to be lined up accordingly.
Step 1:
Clean the surface of your roofline with alcohol
and find the center line of your vehicle.
Punch out the guides along the perforations, only the two middle
pieces are needed for installation. Place
guides flush on both
sides with edge resting
on the roofline (A). Taping down the guides will help keep them in place as you
move on to Step 2.
Step 2:
Rotate the inner guide to the desired placement degree. Make
sure to line up the degrees on both sides for proper alignment
(B). Use the recommended degree chart below for the angle of
each wing. Strip off one side of the 3M pad and attach it to
the Delta Wing inside the outer lip. Then remove the other side
of the pad and place
Delta Wing in the center
of the guide and press down firmly for 20-30 seconds around the
base of the Delta Wing.
Step 3:
Keeping one guide in place, shift the second guide to its
opposite side (C). Repeat Steps 1
and 2 until you finish one side of the car. Then mirror the
angles on the opposite side of the center line. You can also
print out additional guides from the downloads section below and
layout multiple guides alongside each other for even quicker
results.

Results should look similar to those shown here:
