    What does spark plug wires do for the car???

    I want to buy a pair but I don't know what they would do for my car.
    Which ignition wires would be best for performance or good enough for
    performance?
    Cheap pair I could get

    High performance wires will deliver a more consistent and in most cases a more powerful spark to your cylinders. More spark, more fuel burned, more efiiciency. Are you going to see any significant horsepower gains from new wires? No! But they're a good part of the overall package.

    I swear by Magnecor 8.5mm wires. Theyre 100% silicone and have large conductors to carry all the spark. They're also a larger gauge wire than stock which are about 6mm. I've had them on my car almost since it was new and love them. That's my two cents.

    Genuine experience carries a lot more credibility than the ability to answer a question.

    You do not want to buy Cheap spark plug wires. They wont stand up to the heat from the engine and will dry out and fail much faster than a good set. Buy at least factory wires from the dealer at minimum.
