Default Wires that wont touch headers?
I have been doing some searching and noticed some people have had bad luck with some spark wires hitting the headers.

I have stock manifolds now but I want to upgrade to a set of QTP's in the future. I will be installing a new set of Sparks and want to upgrage my wires as well.

Which are the best wires in terms of durability, cosmetics, and most importantly will not touch the headers when installed?

Price is not a main concern.

Thanks guys.

I have MSD wires and they don't come close to touching the headers. Haven't had any problems with them at all.

Is there anyone who has complaints with the MSD wires? I have heard these may be the best way to go.

I got the custom fit ones you cut yourself and made them to fit perfectly and it was a little cheaper about 8 months no problems

Sounds like MSD's are the way to go. Who sells the black set and is a sponsor?
