I had the GG kit on the 5AT and it didn't make a lick of difference. Shifting and throttle response was the same as before (it wasn't bad to begin with). I removed the kit after a couple of weeks and sold it. The more I researched this grounding stuff, the more of a farce I believe it is. Maybe I have a Tuesday car. Or maybe it's something inbetween.

Regardless, I don't quite understand how GG and any other company can put a patent on cut to length, commonly available wires and the way they are attached to the motor. Nothing has been invented. That would be like me reconfiguring my home's HVAC layout for more efficency and then claiming a patent. I guess have hard time seeing these kits getting design or utility patents because other grounding kits are out there and have been available for some time prior to GG. Additionally, auto manufactuers have been using grounding kits for OEM since about day one of the car. I guess GG could threaten to sue, but I don't know on what grounds. The only legal item I see on the GG website is that Grounding Gear is a trademarked name. I see no mention of GG (a Canadian company) having a US patent on it's parts.
