Default Apexi or HKS Grounding Kit

Has anyone installed theApexi or HKS grounding kits? I have the DIY version but noticed these kits have a lot more wires and a grounding point that all the wires extend from.

Wow for those prices, i could make you a set and fly out to WA and put it in for you. Way to much.

The Ground Fusion is a little better of a price, but it's only 8 awg wire, i would try to go with 4 awg wire. It isn't hard to make your own with a few tools, some wire and some ring terminals. Thats what i did.

make your own
you can have any color combo of wire, heatshrink, and terminal finish
and it's cheaper too!
even with buying the tools to make them

4gauge is overkill.

i'd replace the stock main ground with a nice looking 4ga , and then add supplemental 8 ga wire. just me tho.

$100-$200 for these kits? you are not going to tell THAT much difference if at all. put that money into a mod that would make a difference;
an intake,
headers,
new speakers,
give the money to Violent B because it would make you lighter in weight therefore make your car faster.

just some suggestions

None of us can read. I must have went straight for the pics instead of reading you already have the DYI in. I think my car has atleast 7 grounding points under the hood, that i used.

I personally would rather buy a Sun Auto kit over Apexi or HKS...

I have the DIY on my car, and when I had it dynoed before and after. The sheet showed .2hp increase with it off. Not a noticeable difference .2 probably from change in air temp/ humidity
