I took mine off again and hmmm...nothing.
As I stated most that think this is doing something are the ones that are not into performance mods.
But they do it on Hondas so it must work...:lol:

it does work, what more proof do you need, they showed a statistically significant difference in the time that the intake responded to a given throttle input. Throttle response IS something thats important to performance people (I am one of those performance people), it can make for quicker double clutch downshifts, it can make the car easier to launch, it can do a lot of good things. Responsiveness is a good thing. From your previous posts, I understand that you don't notice a difference in throttle response (all of your mocking of even the concept of throttle resopnse in intake threads mainly). Sure, the difference is 8/100's of a second, its very slight (although still statistically significant), but if you're into "performance" so much like you say you are, I would think that you would notice it, I know I do, mainly as I said on double clutch downshifts, I've had to adjust the size of "blip" I give the gas to rev match, since it responds slightly quicker.
Quit it with your high and mighty attitude that you are the only one who "truly cares about performance mods", we all do, or we wouldn't be here (this thread IS in the powertrain modifications forum). Its arrogant jerks like you who discourage others from trying to learn about their cars. . .
and the thread lives on, maybe this one can compete with the how many 5 year olds could you beat up if you really tried (if you've never seen the thread before, check it out, its classic)

I have taken mine off and on many times, with mods and with out. And nothing, there is no rock solid scientic fact or proof that it does anything. As for a grounding kit, I have seen them work.
Funny how you claim to be into performance yet have no mods?
Just like it is funny how easily you are to believe these things.
No need to take it too the heart, if you think it works for you then good. I can see that it is probally the only "performance mod you can get!
So call me arrogant all you want, and I have yet to discourage anyone.
Opinions are like assholes, we all have them....But you think yours smells like roses! :lol:
Grow up and buy some mods then come back.
