Bought a few things for the TL

I first bought this Hyper Ground System kit. Heres what you gain, couple horsepower, increase fuel mileage, better throttle response, redudced emissions, brighter headlights, and reduced audio noise. The guy I got it from says it does wonders, and he has sold a ton. I trust him well, because he is the guy I spent years buying mods from for my Accord. So I'm going to install it this weekend. I also got hyper white bulbs for all my parking lights and blinkers, to finally match now. Don't know why I waited so long. So I'll take pics soon.

what gauge is the grounding kit? I was going to just buy a roll of power wire off one of my friends and then solder on new ring terminals and make my own kit but i wasn't sure what gauge to use.

No doubt, I've looked at getting a kit before, but havent really found one specifically for the TL...It also crossed my mind to make one like you LDH...but havent messed with specifics yet...Please let us know though Mike...I've always been curious how those help, I figured all of those things should change, but I didnt know if they really did.

AFAIK, a grounding kit is pretty basic to make up yourself. When I had my WRX, I made one from parts I got from sounddomain.com:

1) Ground distribution block: 1-4ga, 4-8ga.
2) Gold-plated ring connectors
3) Length of 4ga wire, battery to block
4 Lengths of 8ga wire, block to ground points.
* ground points = 1 on each side of intake manifold, 1 on each strut tower

Total cost ~ $25
