hey guys, so I decided to upgrade my battery terminals & cables with some nice new knukonceptz product, the negative was no problem but I'm having a hard time finding out where the positive cable leads to? Can anyone tell me or better yet post a pic? Is it something "easily" accessible?

many thanks gentleman.

I'm not sure it really matters; it's snake oil anyway.

i like how one of the only guys on this site who can actually help just told him off :)


i dont know jack about this and am actually interested in the answer myself... but I'd start by unwinding all the tape and looking to the alternator

I'm skeptical about the cables doing any good, it was for aesthetics albeit I don't often pop my hood just to stare at what's underneath. Thanks anyways.

In that case, save your money or spend that money you would use for the cables for motor bolt ons (intake, exhaust....) or go for something better (cams, port the throttle body or customize the interior or exterior)
Current Mods
Custom magnaflow exhaust, TRD front upper strut bar, H1 UR Retrofitted Projectors with Apollo shrouds 5K, 6K HID Fogs, Cupholder LED's, Underseat LED bars, 5% tints in rear windows, 17"x7.5 Ikon rims and Canuck lowering springs w/ stock struts.

aesthetics in relation to my audio install. I could give a s*** what the car itself looks like I changed the negative battery terminal, ground and cable and I don't think it's my imagination the car starts up better.

that anime of yours, I must have watched 5 consecutive times, very cool.
