Grounding Wires actually do anything?

Just like the post says... I have read that it helps with smoother shifts on automatics but what about 6MT coupe? Is it just for looks or butt-dyno?

I don't think Audio/Video/etc. forum isthe correct forum for this. But from what I hear, it does help.

I loved what it did for my 5AT, shifts are even more crisp and there's no more lag with the autostick. It won't do anything for shifting in the 6MT since it's basically mechanical.

Just for looks, that is if you think it looks good.

Actually this can apply to audio video. I installed the 10 wire kit in my 5AT and not only did it improve the shifting but it also energized my stereo. I was ready to change the whole system but after the ground wire kit was installed the sound was dramatically better. Added the 4080 box and the JL sub and it's good to go. I reco Gorgees kit!

The sound on my stereo didn't install after the Gordgee's 10 wire was installed. What are you exactly talking about?

All of the fellow 6MT people are telling me it just looks cool but no difference in anything else. I'll pass on the wires. Thanks for the honest answers.

I don't want to dress up my engine bay anyways.
