20+ HP for $ Bucks???
SO i have had my 2000 3.2 TL for about 3 weeks now and have been working on it alot. (Mainly installing a full stereo with 2 amps and subs) I have cold air intake and eibach suspension. Im always looking for stuff on ebay and i keep coming across these cheap simple ways to increase HP, Does anyone know if these things work? Has any one tryed them?
Here are some links:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2470657510
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2471188412
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2471971937
Are any of these things worth getting, can they hurt the car?
Ps. If anyone needs help with stereo installation on there 1999-2003 TL i can probably help since i just finished doing everything. E-mail me at simpson975@comcast.net or reply to this post.
Thanks.

This gets posted her about once a month, but you'll find no members here who actually own one for one simple reason. Its a resistor that only costs a few cents, that doesnt do squat. It strikcs yoru ECU into thinking the engine is cold. Since our cars typically run a little rich anyway, its just a waste of gas, and could only cause harm.

Ya i dont think ill drive with them on to often, i leave them on when i park some times. I thought about gun metal and it would be cheaper but i just dont think its the look i want. Im not going for a tuner racing look, i want a pimp cruizing look. Can you see the neon tubes themselves on your car?
