I noticed a great improvement in the bose system after the grounding kit. Thats enough to justify it for me.

The difference wont be nearly as noticeable as a 5AT but you will still have a nice improvement with throttle response, and smoother operation of all the electronics, and smoother idle.

PM me if you are interested in the #1 selling kit on the market.

What improvements are you talking about? Can you be more specific?

^since you are 5AT, you will have great benefits with improved shifting in manual mode.

I was asking directly about his Bose improvements.

I have Gordon's wires, and I notice the tranny shifting snappier and the smoother engine performance.

I'm skeptical on the improvements to the a radio.

I noticed a distinct difference in the following things when I installed Sean's kit, I'm a 5AT:

--Interior lights got brighter
--Bose stereo got louder and sounds cleaner
--Idle seemed smoother, can't verify that one though
--Shifts got crisper, after my exhaust and tune I can bark the 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift if the stars align correctly (no transgo so don't ask )


I think it's a good investment but there are many out there who are skeptical of GKs in general.
