Mugen Ground Wires

I just got my Mugen Ground Cable set, they say it dynos 2-3 hp gain, and increases fuel mileage almost 2 miles to the gallon. I donno if it will accompolish those 2 things or not.
It is gauranteed to smooth the idle, and that it definitely did do, got rid of the typical civic tic that you can hear like normal, you can also feel the idle smoothed out after install.
They dont cost to much so its a must have.

make sure one of those wires goes to your etb (throttle body...) cause it's fly by wire.. right? you'll need it on there and that will help throttle response.. i only put one wire on my mazda 3 and it really did help...

take the one off the cylinder block... you dont need it if you have one on the head it'llgo through the head bolts.. take that one and take one bolt that holds the tb on off... then put the wire on that bolt and bolt it back onto the tb... easy as that.

Try a search for Arospeed Ground Wire Kit. Here's an article on different brands, performance and installation: http://www.clubprotege.com/wil/howto/groundwire/
