SxExCx's Custom Grounding Kit and Polished Plenum
05 LS G35 Sedan 5AT

A couple of quick snaps from Sean's garage:





I've always admired Sean's work and decided that when I was going to dive into modding my engine bay I would definitely have him do some work on my ride. I met Sean for the first time a few weeks back at our SoCal Annual BBQ. Ended up rolling up to his house, which was near the BBQ, to pick up an extra ice chest (I was the only one there early with a sedan, so of course I had to give him a ride with all the trunk space I have ). What a cool guy, a family man, and very professional. Got to check out his garage and tools, asked him a ton of questions and he was very happy to share his knowledge with me. Decided that I would have to do some engine bay stuff real soon (tired of going to meets and keeping my hood closed!).

I have always been very skeptical of grounding kits. I thought they were mostly for "show" and didn't produce any noticeable gains in performance, therefore a waste of money. After talking with Sean and reading the reviews of others I decided to give it a try. Sean's attention to detail and focus on quality is amazing. He knows his way around our cars and this kit cannot be improved in any way to better fit our cars IMO. After I let her rip once I got on the main drag near his house, all I could say was WOW! The grounding kit definitely makes a noticeable difference. I drive in MM mode 90% of the time and right away I noticed that my car drove much smoother and shifted a tad bit quicker. No more cluncking noise and hard shift between 2nd and 3rd gear (I was shocked). Car also seemed to pull a little harder (but to be fair I was driving harder than I normally would to train the ECU).

What can I say about the plenum.....bling, bling! The quality of Sean's work is top notch. When I got home popped my hood and literally stared at the plenum for 5 minutes. I'll definitely be having him polish more items in my engine bay in the very near future. I highly recommend the grounding kit to anyone, especially 5AT owners, in the SoCal area (and of course the polished plenum too if you are looking to dress up your engine bay).

Thanks again Sean

Thanks Shane! I got the z-tube from everythingg35.com, its the Chrome Z-Tube, per Sean it has better finish than the Polished Z-Tube. Both are made by UTR.

Marcus, thank you for driving all the way out to me to get these done. I always enjoy the time spent sharing my passion for our cars with other enthusiasts. When people say "Driving my car is so much more fun now" or "When I got home popped my hood and literally stared at the plenum for 5 minutes"..it make all the dirty work worthwhile!

To everyone who has posted a review in this thread....THANK YOU.
I will be announcing a new product within the a month or so and I would like to offer it to you all first (with a loyalty discount)

I know about it, I saw the prototype when I was there for the install. Sean gave me the details of how it would work and be installed. Looks sweet and I hope to pick one up (if I can afford it after spending money on other engine bay stuff!).
