I was looking aroud in the engine compartment on my V6 and saw a red rubber band tied aroud a cable harness just in front on the firewall on the passenger side.The other end was looped around something at the rear of the engine but couldn't see what.Anyway my daugter brought he car over yesterday to finish up the fog light install and she had a red rubber band in the same exact spot on her car.Has any other V6 owner seen this rubber band,sure hope it isn't critical to hold the wiring in place.

Oh and by the way, I don't specifically recall seeing one in my car. I'll take a look later and see what I can find.

I was thinking about swapping my rubber band that came with my V6 for one from a GT. Any idea what kind of performance increase I might expect?

You guys don't think it's weird that we are talking about red rubberbands?

Are you taking it to a shop, like Staples of Office Depot or are you qualified to do it yourself? I think it could be tricky getting the O.E. band off so be careful and don't forget to post some pics!

I sense a mod coming on. I'm going to change mine to a black metalic rubber band.

I will post pic's and detailed instructions. It will be so acurate that I'm sure it will qualify for a sticky!

Check this company out. I'm going to order a custom rubber band from them:

I'm waiting for all the dust to settle on this one. I want to let the aftermarket get the kinks worked out before I go and change out my rubber band. I'm just hoping the come out with a billet model. Dress it up a little! I think you'll definately have to have a tune to keep from getting the CEL. I may get a custom tune once the next generation comes out.

I say we all take our rubberbands off (kinda like the HC trap) and get them all together to make a huge rubberband ball.
