How does the magnetic alignment of iron materials help support the thorey of seafloor spreading?

Answer:

Essentially, it's a ripoff - just like any other miraculous improvement.
Save your money. If you want inexpensive HP gain just switch off the AC. Those silly aluminum tubes may look cool when you pop the hood but are worthless for anything except highly modified engines that run at redline.
Cold air intake is where the throttle body gets air to mix with fuel. The stock cold air intake might have some characteristics that limit power (for the sake of fuel economy perhaps). KN air intakes deliver air more efficiently by being design in a way that gets more air to the engine and more quickly. Could be about a 10hp gain (if that).
A dramatic proof of sea-floor spreading was discovered in the mid 1960s when data revealed alternating stripes of magnetic orientation on the sea floor, parallel to the mid-ocean ridges and symmetric across them—that is, a thick or thin stripe on one side of the ridge is always matched by a similar stripe at a similar distance on the other side. This mirror-image magnetic orientation pattern is created by steady sea-floor spreading combined with recurrent reversals of Earth's magnetic field. Iron atoms in liquid rock welling up along a mid-ocean ridge align with Earth's magnetic field. When this magma solidifies into crust, its iron atoms lock into position. This solid crust flows away from the mid-ocean ridge in both directions, carrying its original magnetic orientation with it. Eventually Earth's magnetic field reverses. Previously solidified crust retains its original field state, but crust just forming along the ridge is locked into the new orientation. As crust feeds steadily and symmetrically away from the ridgeline and Earth's magnetic field reverses over and over again, a symmetric striped pattern of magnetism is created. In other words There is distinct banding on each side of the mid ocean ridge, and the two sides are mirror images of one another. The Banding is defined by magnetic alignment
