I installed my own last sunday. Cost me about $5 total.

Home Depot:
10 feet 12AWG wire (stranded, but still only about 10 strands per wire, so its not super floppy)......$1.50
2 pkg's of crimp on 0 ring connectors......$0.79 x2
10 Pack of 3M electrical tape.....~$5

took me about 15 minutes of sitting around to make these. I cut 3 18" lengths and one 24" length just incase. I still had about 2 feet left over, so making all of them 24" would have been better. Crimped on the connectors real tight with some pliers, remove the plastic sheeth that is on the connectors, it only gets messed up when you squeeze the hell out of those things. Than wrapped the first 3"-4" real tight with electrical tape.

So how did it work out? Thats the funny thing, I did this as well as some other maintance and then went inside and went to sleep. When I came out the next day, my car had been vandalized and the steering column was busted, so I haven't started her since.

Yes, they work. My friend P1mpSlap made me some for free out of 4GA monster cable and I can tell a difference on my R in very HIGH RPM range.

I think this is a very worthwhile mod.
