New product that may interest some:

I think it's a waste of money, providing no real gains, but other people on here have had such great luck with grounding kits so maybe this will help for those people. If anything the colorful wires look cool!

Dude do you have to run down anything that doesn't make your approval list? It's extremely fatiguing and downright rude. Keep your little snide comments to yourself. You can then live with the knowledge you're vastly smarter and superior to the rest of the G population.

I think Brian should get special credit for bringing something to the community's attention even though he doesn't endorse it. Kudos Brian! There's nothing wrong with saying what you think. Hey, it's a free country, isn't it? (Taxes, military conscription, speed limits .... aside.)

Grounding wires definately won't help brian since he has a 6MT, however the gman will see some improved performance but NOT horsepower gains. Smoother shifting will help whether you have Mt or AT. The MT driver needs manual dexterity and the AT driver needs grounding wires.

With 420+ posts since joining in January obviously BrianV has proved he's able to speak freely. It was not his pointing us to this new device that aggravated me but his dig at the grounding kit. I would guess the scores of G and Z owners who have experienced improvements with the addition of the grounding kit are less than appreciative of his condescending tone. Perhaps I am alone in this. I will ignore his commentary henceforth.

Geeman, Kudos for defending grounding, and hypervoltage systems..(I have used and like both). They are well liked here by many, but I didn't take what BrainV had to say as a slam. Just that he didn't use them but that they were out there.
Would be pointless to come on here with such a divergent view just to get roasted by so many happy users.

If you re-read the post, he's not slamming grounding kits, JUST THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THEM!

My offer still stands, but no takers. I will purchase for 90% of the as-new price a grounding kit that was installed and reviewed by an admitted skeptic. (If they don't decide to keep it, that is...)

I can use e-escrow for the funds if my word isn't good enough.

If someone calls a product a "waste of money" I'd say that's a slam. I don't feel the need to defend grounding kits. It worked for me and many others. I don't need validation. I do feel the need to object when someone who's never tried it throws in little comments like they know what they're talking about.

ChicagoX: I like your first line. Funny. Are you saying you will buy someone's old kit, presumably a dissatisfied GK user, for 90% of new price to test? Seems like a vendor might take you up on that. I like mine so you can't have! You can PM so as not to hijack this thread (which has already been kinda hijacked).

I know nothing about the product in the link or those types of systems. I do know we don't need another GK debate thread.

I've never used a grounding kit, I am curious if the brand matters when it comes too this, or do they all just use the same wire/guage for that matter.
