if i get 8mm wires or larger and spend the extra money on it, will they last longer then reg. 7mm generic brand or are they just the same as far as life span goes ?

cuz i dont wanna be buying expensive wires every time i do a tune up ya know

thanx

 

I had stock ac delco , I think they were 7mm . I went to ACCEL 8mm wires , Universal fit . I cut them and made them myself . They have been on for almost 6 months now .I deffinetly think they will hold up better than the old crappy 7mm wires .But the true test will be next Jan when they have been on for a year ! . I can pick up an ac delco 7mm wire and then an Accel 8mm and you can feel how much better quality the 8mm accel is .But when you drive 2 hours a day with alot of heat , they just didnt last . Also get some heat sleeves for the #1 and #3 plugs to protect them from the EGR pipe . I ordered some Taylor heat sleeves from Summit for $8.00 . Heat sleeve part #s are listed below .

As for plugwires , I THINK , taylor has a lifetime warranty .I'll be honest with you about accel , I like them , but have heard people complain about them , I have a set of accel wires that are the wrong pair for my car and they are kinda crappy made , But if you get the universal pair of accel , you should be ok .MSD wires are good to .If you want to make your own set of wires , and don't know how , let me know and I will be happy to help .
