OEM is just fine

no dyno gains from spark plug wires , and they list for like 130 new

 

If I have to say it a thousand times...Stock plug wires work best. There is no need to upgrade whatsoever. Many times aftermarket plug wires are a gimmick, just like almost every aftermarket part available for Hondas. Promises of 20+ hp with this bolt on muffler.

 

how much do oem wires cost?

whats the best site to get them from?

under 50 bucks

I'm an OEM ***** , ***** magnajunx

 

lol thanks

does hparts or hondaautomotive parts sell the wires?

 

i looked in honda automotive parts, but i don't see what the plug wires would be under

 

i found them listed on their acura site under "high tension cord - spark plug"

 

I have went thru 6 sets of wires on my car and the best ones would be stock/ngk. I believe NGK's are made by the same guys that make the OEM Honda ones. I got my set from http://www.inlinefour.com

In those six set on of those where Magnecors and I give it a

 

sumitomo makes the OEM ones

 

i got some moroso ones for sale

 

they cost about 90-100 new

 

They cost more than twice as much as OEM wires, and I'm almost positive they're not twice as good.

Magnecores also have a nasty tendency to wiggle themselves off the distributor...that's why you see people ziptie 'em on there. One worked its way free one time in my friend's car...and it made a nasty sound, similar to a drowning motorboat maybe...

 

thanks for all the help guys

anyone have a direct link to new oem wires?

 

Your local dealership will have them.

 

i'd rather get them from a site, then from my local dealer

 

N8 has then on his gsr motor, and they kept popping out... finally had to rig them up so they cant pop out.. not cool

Ran a set on my GSR. No problems. Gottem during a group buy a while back for $40 a set.

 

damn...i was about to get a set as well but after hearing all the commotion...i think i'll pass and get some little NGK plug wires. this site helps me save a bunch of $$$ let's use the $$$ for some beer!

 

good choice... they really irritated me till I finally rigged them to fit right :/

 

Look on the internet used parts sites. I'm not sure which one, but I'm quite sure some rice boy went out and bought some Aerospeed yellow super wires and would sell you brand new 2 month old spark plug wires for $20 bucks.
