ECU Reset - exhaust gorunding straps

Reply to "What are Exhaust Grounding Straps" see jpg's, worth a 1000 words.
One end of the Exhaust Grounding Straps are bolted to a "U" clamp on the exhaust and the other is bolted to the frame for a good grund.

I did some research and found a few sites stating HP and MPG gains with Proper Exhaust Grounding Straps. I had severe low rpm vibrations since fabricating and installing a Cat Back with Flowmaster muffler. The first remedy was to align the entire exhaust system being sure there was no bind in the system. The next step was the EGS. These two steps eliminated about 70 % of the vibration - resonance and drone. The third step, ECU reset has about 95 % of the problem eliminated.

I noticed no difference in performance or MPG with the EGS. Also, I bought good quality grounding straps at Napa rather than order the kit.
