^Not that I know of. I work around electronics and know the importance of proper grounding which is why I decided to get it.

^Not that I can notice, then again my car wasn't stock when it was installed. I already had the Stillen kit installed prior to this one. Other members have claimed to notice a difference, but my butt dyno is broke so unless something addes 20HP/TQ I won't notice a difference in any mod. Good grounding is better for circuitry and electrical components anyways...

good stuff. I'm getting ready to order my MD 5/16 spacer as well and like to get more insight on it. I've searched up some videos on youtube and heard it sounds noticeably louder than stock. where did you guys purchase it from?

I installed my MD 5/16 ISO Thermal spacer a few weeks ago and it was completely worth it. It's not putting me back in my seat, but for sure adding some power.

Install took me 1.5 hours in total and was a complete pain in the A** but completely worth it. I love the sound and the feel.

I unplugged the battery the night before and plugged it back on for after install so it had plenty of time to reset the ECU.

Wish I would have heard of this prior to my install... I don't look forward to having to re-do if they come loose. I put a small amount on the tip as directed... UGH.
