installed a voltage stabilizer

Just installed a voltage stabilizer on my 04 rx8 after reading a bit about it. I’m NOT 100% sure, but I have a feeling that it gave me a bit extra torque; because my car feels stronger at low RPMs (it might all just be psychological?). Also the audio seems a bit better (clearer base) and I think my lights are brighter. Il let you guys know if it saves gas mileage in a few days.

When I say I read about it, I basically meant through google searching “voltage stabilizers”and the products claims.
Again.. not 100% if it works and im not a car pro. But as long as I think it dose, i feel a bit happier. lol


The product CLAIMED!!
• Increase torque and horsepower.
• Improve fuel efficiency
• Improve engine response.
• Lesser engine noise.
• Optimize electrical equipment performance
• Reduce stereo's interference and improve the brightness of headlights.

I don’t believe it all to be true, because if something so cheep made such an outstanding improvement, Mazda would have put one under the hood.

What are other people’s thoughts on voltage stabilizers?
Do u guys think they work?
Anyone else got one?

I haven't read anything online about this, apart from what you just posted. What I'll say though is: if it sounds too good to be true....it always is!!

You've pretty much answered your own question.

Well I don’t think it was too much of a scam. At least my stock audio base is sharper and not as buzzy. That was the major change I definitely notice.
And I didn’t even pay that much for it, so its ok i guess.

Power-wise I think its a scam but I would agree it improves audio qualities
