OEM Honda, which are made by Sumitomo.

OEM wires, even 10+ year old ones, have been dyno proven to outperform aftermarket wires.

Right here.

So where is your proof? Plug wires making your car run better? Pfft, sounds like the placebo effect if I've ever heard it . . .

I don't see MSD in there... I have better gas mileage, and smoother revs with the MSD super conductors.

I had some yellow 8mm Idontrememberthebrand wires and the Test Only smog guy was shocked like fifty times (I counted) trying to put the timing thing on the wire. Needless to say he told me to buy "stock" NGK ones. I listened to him.
