Default Newage STi - Earthing

Hi Guys,

Wondering if you could help...

I have a MY05 STi and have read several posts about earthing, it seems mostly applicable to the 'Classic Shape' Impreza as opposed to the 'Newage'.

Can anyone tell me if Earthing on a 'Newage' as detailed here is actually needed... and if it actually offers any benefits to the running. (ie: Cold Running / Smoother Running / More power?)

Engine & Exhaust

Thanks in advance,

Adds some weight to the front end. No other benefit. Do you really think if it made any difference whatsoever Subau wouldn't have done it from new?

Well thats what i thought... but what about this:

David Hendry Cars - ZERO/SPORTS Impreza

Would it really make the differences they claim?

It will only make a difference if you have BIG AMPs, BIG SUBS etc etc, no need if have standard setup but it does look good inside your engine bay becuase I have the buddyclub 1.
