Apexi Grounding Kit

I have a Apexi grounding kit. total 5 wires. 2 goes to neg and positive of battery. Where would u suggest i mount the other 3. This is the most advanced grounding kit as it has a big unit that runs the wires. What is the advantage of this? Thanks

Maybe you haven't heard about the apexi kit. I had this on my evo and it was a noticable gain. I grounded them to the grounding points i could find, the head, strut bar(i think) and near the battery i think. It's been awhile since ive seen my evo so I can't clearly remember

Why would you want a ground wire on the positive terminal? Trying to cause an electrical fire under your hood?

cuz if i dont run the positive (has a red jacket already on it so guessing its for the positive) the apexi unit wont power up. I ran 1 near the driver headlight area, 1 to the intake mani, 1 to the head, 1 to neg, and 1 to +. I dont notice crap.

no grounding kit connects to the positive terminal. Thats why its called a GROUNDING kit cuz the negative terminal is also known as the ground terminal. As "Cirrusly Evolvd" said, this will end up causing some major fires under the hood.

Powered up? I'm gonna have to look into this Apexi kit as I've never heard of a grounding kit that needed power! Interesting....

Theyre both just bundles of wire. If you open the SUN one, it's just a few feet of wire stranded together.

and btw - It's running Itanium in there! lol

Try dynoing it before and after to see if there is a gain. I have yet to see grounding wires make a difference other than "it feels faster, smoother, better, etc..."
