I think that it is ground wires??? Could be wrong that developed that idea and patented their version which had a specific braid to the wires that was suposed to conduct the best current flow possible. Also, could be wrong there too, but think that is right.

Re: (boostinb20vtec)

they are pretty much all the same.. some people will argue that the kits which snake around the whole engine bay ground better than the HKS style kit which grounds all the wires to one central point...

IMO you could save money by making your own kit using 4 gauge wire and connectors from your local audio shop..

Re: ground wire (pearlteg)

IMO those things are a waste. just get your own wires and replace the stock ones w/ larger wires and make sure all the ground locations are good and clean. It would also be a good idea to upgrade the charging system wires depending on what accessories you're running.

As long as you get it grounded to the valve cover, block, and VTEC solenoid, then you're doing good.
