Ebay spark plug wires...

[GSXtacy724]

anyone ever tried them? Are they any good? Thanks in advance fellas

If you mean an ebay no-name brand, why waste your money on them wondering? You can get Accels for $50 shipped.

I got some for X mas a year ago actually and theyre a lot thicker than the stock ones and ive had no problems with them, I dont see what the big deal is about a plug wire, unless the boots rip off or they arc somewhere... but im sure they wont.

whats the price difference vs. NGKs?

 

[Dsmj89]

Just get some ngk's, msd's, or magnacore's. Why cheap out on maintenance parts ?

agreed, just commenting that the price is probably pretty close comparatively and its just worth it to spring for the NGKs (and get them in the color you want )

DONT get magnecores! I had a new set and they arced and would melt my coil packs! Switched to NGK and had no problems. There is a post somewhere where someone contacted magnecore about the problem and they even said that they have problems with there wires on small displacement engines, mostly due to how far the wire goes into the cylinder head before it goes to the spark plug.

NGK is the way.

Gotta find out somehow. Like the guy above mentioned, he has them and they work great. Their like 16 bucks compared to 50+. I mean I figured id ask, knowing alot of ppl would say what you said.

the responses here sound like responses about the very same ebay fmics, gauges, short shifters, etc that are now ok to use because they work fine.

all it took was several years and people risking buying them and trying them out and not listening to people who don't even have experience with them.

so go ahead and get them and let us know.

i personally run MSD and Magnacore. The mags do seem a bit much for wires.

i have the blue 9.3 mm ones,they boots are even silicone.$20, free shipping and the wire is made in germany or somthing.it says right on them, and the boots are nice and soft.id recomend them over the ngk,but i may eat my words in a couple months,well see. but for $20 they look awsome.i was supprised when i got them in my hands.ive also made about 100 sets of custom wires over the years while working at shops,so ive seen alot of pricey plug wires and these look about as good as any ive seen.but hey i also run a ebay front mount,so what do i know.

Stock for me. (lots of topics on this)

Maganacore has acknowledged issues for years with our cars, and I can't justify over 50 bucks for wires. That said, I can't justify being a guinea pig for a critical system in the car.

If you want to try them, do it. Make sure to report back and successes or failures.

Go with the trusted and true NGK plug wires...

 

[prostreetdsmx1]

I've used the MSD wires for years and just about every DSM i've owned. Cheaping out on something as important as wires just doesn't sit right with me.

 

[toxicity883]

i use accels and taylor made, i personally prefer the taylor made.
They're $35 a pair from summit and they only have 50 ohms per foot resistance.

thanks man, thats exactly what I wanted to hear.
Dont get me wrong wires are important, but they have one job to do. Not like im buying a cheaply made/built ECU or engine or something. As for wires, i think they should work as good as the name brand ones. Im gonna order them, I'll let you guys know.

this just goes to show all the ppl that are telling me to go with name brand and big money wires. Its exactly what I was looking to hear. thanks guys

 

[Defiant]

Yeah.
1. It's $20. You're asking the world wide web about spending twenty bucks?
2. Real wires are $50. If fifty bucks is a threat to your budget, you should be borrowing rides. You can't afford to own one.
