Default Better ignition wires? MSD or Magnecor? Need answer ASAP!

Which of the two are better and are ignition wires for all SOHCs the same regardless of VTEC or not and regardless of generation of engine?

I'd stay with stock honda plug wires. They fit best and work best.

id stay w/ stock wires.. unless yours are bad/in need of replacement.. theres really no reason to change them... if you want to replace them either go for another set of stock, NGK, Magnecor, or MSD's... their all decent priced and get the job done... but if your stocks are fine.. just keep them..

I dont beleive the voltage between the groups listed, MSD stock NGK, would hardly makeany difference at all unless your engine is at the top (cams, h/e/i, rods, turbo, nitrous, SC, etc)

Welcome ye newbie.

BTW, Stock Honda wires are made by NGK, so whoever did that dyno, didn't know what they were doing, or grabbed the oldest set of wire he could find, broke them, and then put them in.

Magnecor's suck. All 3 of my sets broke within 6 months. My NGK's still seal, and lock onto my plugs like factory.
