Thread: spark plug wires

Hi!! sorry if its a repost but i couldn't find the thread...

I have a GA16DE and it has these 9mm spark plug wires, Ive heard the oem wires are better, is this true? if it is I could easily change them for some oem ones, would i gain something or should i just stick with the ones i have??

In other words are aftermarket spark plug wires better then oem regardless of price???

I have heard OEM wires are better than most aftermarket ones. If I were to replace, I'd go OEM for sure.

oem is what most run around here but I know of people that run taylors and ngks

i personally run ngks with no problems, taylors are nice too

ngks will fall apart if handled when warm.

personal expierence? mine have never failed on me, and i have handled them in all conditions.

lets just say when we were going to do a test fit on the ultra wires on my buddies high port, they came apart. and then another person said the same thing happened to them after it happened.

I have aftermaket wires, they seem to be running fine, well kept together but i was wordering if oem had better responce and stuff...

OEM are better than aftermarket, period. Sumitomo wires are what they are. IIRC the only thing better than OEM are the Ultra Red wires, which are hard to find. Not sure if that matters though since you're running with a GA.

Just stick with OEM and you'll be fine.

so sumitumo >ngk?
