here's how mine looks like



i used 4awg cable. it still looks good after being under the hood for about a year.

there is one cable not visible in this picture. it goes from the battery to a grounding location near driver's headlight.

Hey Jaco, after your install did you notice any difference on the 3.5?

there is a slight difference in the way the car idles and it starts up a bit quicker.
one thing you should keep in mind is that, when installing a hypergrounding system you'll disconnect the battery, so it may seem like a huge gain where in fact most of it is due to resetted ecu.

overall i'm pretty happy with it. it looks good plus it helps the engine.
in fact, i'll be adding two more cables. one will go to the tranny and the other near passanger headlight.

The differences may be more real than you think. Disconnecting the battery doesn't re-set the ECU on a 3.5.

I haven't done this mod yet, but I will after I get back from vacation at the end of the month.
