have anyone try one of those thing? they said it will:

- Increase torque and horsepower.
- Improve fuel efficiency. Save 10%~25% more gas.
- Improve Engine Response. Quicker Engine Start. Better Throttle Response.
- Stabilizes Idling as well as Increases Air Conditioning Efficiency.
- Quick Engine Start by Improving Ignition System.

Just in case you're serious, the answer is no—there's no magic voltage stabilizer that can do these things. If there was, Honda would have included it just for the gas savings if nothing else, since gas mileage is very competitive between lower-priced cars. There already are parts of the car to stabilize the voltage of the electrical system: the voltage regulator (which is
part of the ECU now, I guess) and the battery.

Don't waste your money unless you want it to make your engine bay look fantastic. In other cases, there are far better ways to waste your money; for example, you could put it in an envelope and mail it to DrewE.
