Ferrite core noise reducers for better performance / fuel economy

Post by Tubaryan12 »

Has anyone heard of using these or has anyone here ever used them. Folks claim to put them on fuel injector wires, spark plug wires, leads to the ecm, battery cables, etc. Claims that fuel economy increases and car idles and accelerates smoother. What say ye GenVibers?

Though I agree with this statement, we all know that automakers could do a lot of things to a car that would greatly improve them, but the payout isn't there for them. I'm just asking about what someone said they read on a Japanese forum. They did this, as well as adding a K&N drop in air filter to the car and then claimed great results. The cost is about $25 for the noise filters, and I would be willing to do it if I would see as little as .5 mpg improvement.
