Default Earthing system

I would like to get some feedback on anyone who is using an aftermarket earthing system, like the spoon or T1R, etc. From what I understand it is a worthy inexpensive mod, that will help with the overall driving quality of your car and possibly add some hp.

I don't know how you can call $260.00 an inexpensive mod. What do they net...about 2hp? Maybe.

I went to wallmart in the battary department and bought all the necessary parts for $20.00 and made my own. How about you give me $260.00 and I'll make you one that will be better?

They are OVERPRICED GARBAGE AIMED AT KNOW NOTHING RICED OUT FOOLS.

Donate the money you would of spent on it to charity. Help someone who needs the money, if you're just going to throw it away.

It's called an earthing system by the Japanese b/c they don't know the correct translation is "glounding" system.



And the glounding system is something you can make yourself - unless you are are a razy s.o.b. rike me

I bought a pivot earthing/voltage condensor, it cost me the grand total of $30, it would have cost me more to make it up myself...and get this...it does absolutley nothing except look good. It is supposed to cut out electrical interference on stereos but since i fitted aftermarket HIDs i get a constant white noise when using the radio when the lights are on!

Wasn't this covered a while back with inconclusive results?

not inconclusive - there were NO gains power-wise.. although the car did seem to idle smoother and have better throttle response..
