I had a burnt stock wire and the msd's were just such a good price and they were black so they look stock. But they also have the bendable boots so you can keep them off of your headers if you have them.

Plus 1 - Bendable boots on the MSD's. Some guy did do a resistance test on all the popular plug wires. I was suprised at the differences...

MSD FTW. Won't really matter performance wise, but it might make you feel better.

I have used MSD's on a few cars now. the boots work great for header applications. Price is pretty decent too.

I got MSD wires when I installed my headers. Mainly for the look because people take stock wires to beyond 100K and 800RWHP
