Default Grounding

Do those engine grounding kits really work, or are they a waist of money?

I have the APEXi Ground System just because it glows at night and not very many people have it. As far as its true function, I never really noticed anything. If you want to get the same effect, just go to you local audio shop and buy some 8 gauge wire and make your own kit. Its not very hard and you can hide the wires so nobody has to know. Ground kits are suppose to help with cars with lots of electronics.

Just replace all the factory ground wires with thicker gauge wires. Take a moment to look in your engine bay and make a note of where all the factory ones are and how long they are. Go out and get thick gauge speaker wire and replicate.
