Has anyone used this on their Car? I installed one last night and feel a noticable difference in 2 gear throttle response! Also my SUB does not dim the lights[:D] I will be able to see how the gas milage improves over this next week, also plan on installing K & N

i don't really get how this would help with as much electronic regulation our cars have. i understand how it might help on an older car though.

I know it helps on honda and Evo, but I haven't seen anyone install it into european cars.

Actually, several magazines have dyno tested these grounding sets on cars, and have gotten 5-10hp gains with them for whatever reason.
Granted, these tests were conducted on mid-90's Japanese cars, but nonetheless I was still impressed. It's definitely not a bad idea, especially for the guys who have a big stereo.

Grounding kits IMO are overpriced... you can go to a local corner-store stereo shop and get 10-12ga Au-Plated ring ends for about $1/pair... and then get some Oxygen-Free copper amp power wiring... I think this is far better than any "gounding kit" you can buy since this way you can get custom length cabling and costs much much less. :-)
Not a bad mod for the cost. And yes, it may help, but the amount all depends on how well grounded your car is from the beginning.

I cant find it anymore but an online magazine did testing on a grounding kit for a 1.8t audi and it actually lost power. Insignificant power anyways. Apparently we do not have problems in that area.
cheers! Mike
