what is this? and how easy it to install?you guys thought i was kidding or that i didnt know what i was saying but heres the link to the add on ebay....................................................................http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MUG-Ground-Wire-Voltage-Stabilizer-Del-Sol-Prelude-HP_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33577QQihZ013QQitemZ230091973167QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

All car components require good grounds and they have to match the positive. The whole frame is a ground so why not use it instead of pretty pink wires. As for battery stabilization, the battery is the stabilizer.

I have my doubts about this one. I've seen a lot of gizmos come and go, but I'm going to do a little research on this one. The hook up is easy, the power equalizer is basically a big capacitor that absorbs voltage spikes then bleeds it back slowly to maintain a constant voltage. You just connect the red wire to the positive battery cable and the black to the ground terminal.( 20 minutes)The theory is that the car's computer, which relies on return voltage signals from various sensors will be affected if the voltage varies by a few volts originally going to the sensors. The failing point is that the computer sends the outgoing voltage to the sensor then compares it to the incoming signal, so if it ran on 10, 11 or 14 volts, it wouldn't matter. As for the ground wire, save your money. How you install it is by connecting the ground disk to the negative battery terminal and run the wires to different parts of the car, such as the engine, inner fenders, firewall, computer mounting bracket, etc. Rather a long and bothersome job for something that really has no affect. Electricity that is returning to ground is using the metal in the car body as a giant wire. The body would have much less resistance than a wire. Either way, this one would take at least 3 to 4 hours and you would have to drill a few holes through your firewall.

Think of speaker wires. The thicker the cable, the more power can get to the speakers so the better they sound.

This is the same thing but for grounds. Has enlarged cables and cleaner connection points to keep all things electrical grounded properly. A proper electrical system can add a tiny bit to your car.

Past looking cool....I doubt you will ever see a difference so I'd save your money. You could easily do this in way yourself....just replace all your ground wires with thicker cables.

Checked out your link Holmes.
What it sounds like is a fast acting capacitor for high power draw stereo systems.
Some of the claims I am skeptible about.
But none the less, the premise is that bitching sound systems will draw down the system voltage and create poor stereo performance, ( and according to the add, poor car performance ).
I've installed a few of these devices, and yes they do help with the license plate shaking.
But I've never dy-noed a car to see if it helped with the overall engine performance.
Though for big bang trunk rattlers, it is almost a must.
Installed close to the amp. they have the ability to discharge large amounts of energy that the wiring is not capable of handling. A better result is to put an Optima battery in the trunk along with the stereo goods to smooth out these discrepancies, but a bit more expensive .

When you ground too many things in different locations,you create what is called a ground loop and create noise.All grounds should go to a common point.That kit is also a voltage stabilizer to clean up any system spikes or lows.

This setup is for tuners running ultra high amp electronic coils.So if you don't have tons of high performance parts, and mods, this is just for looks.
