i've been quoted before $30....to get the tip extended....they have to use a stainless steel piece to extend it and apprantly stainless steel weld....

2. Full Ground Kit -- Voltage Stabilizer/Condenser Kit
Install: 10-30min
Info: TB: 6-8ft/lb; Fuel Rail: 14-19ft/lb
Cost: $5-180
Pros: Smoother acceleration, Better mileage, More Power
Cons: N/A

Added note (3/14/07): This takes over the TB ground. Can be purchased through stores like http://streetrays.com and http://hopupracing.com

A ground kit consists of several heavy gauge wires connected to a central unit; some are connect to the negative terminal of your battery. Stabilizer kits include a capacitor to regulate voltage.
These capacitors theoretically would reduce headlight dimming of 3s with stock halogens, but the alternator is too weak to help prevent that. They will however increase the electrical efficiency of the car. Steer clear of the $29 stabilizers on ebay. Stick with Buddy Club Condenser (http://buddyclub.us) or Apexi (http://www.apexi-usa.com) for the stabilizers. At the moment, there are much more 3 owners purchasing the BC Condenser due to its cost, look, and it’s been dyno-proven. If you don’t want to spend too much, you can make your own ground kit or purchase a universal kit from ebay. The universal kit's wires are not often very flexible, and the shipping costs too much.

Install is as easy as the throttle body ground, if your kit has a condenser/stabilizer; you just connect the condenser’s positive wire to the battery’s positive, and negative to negative. The ground wires can then be attached from the condenser to the ground points. I’ve chosen the left strut tower, the fuel rail and the throttle body.

Skeptics will always debate power gains, but here is my dyno for the Buddy Club Condenser. The graph looks that way because the run was started on 3K. More in this later.

Mods: AEM Intake + RX8 Wheels + Buddy Club Kit (taken at4500ft)
Info: RX8 wheel/tire combos are 45-46lbs total per corner (vs 42lbs for 17”, 39lbs for 16”)

Just to add.......

I had a used Vibrant cat back exhaust installed on my sedan and did not extend the tip. The difference was a couple of inches which was not really significant. Looks fine... works fine... happy camper I am :)
