Default Headers burnt a plug wire...

Well, been going for about 300 miles now after the header install and I finally got shot down with a burnt wire at the track today. Car runs like crap now so how about a suggestion. Replace the one wire, or do them all at the same time. Haven't done this one yet so what kind of fun problems do I have to look foward to?

Oh btw, and now I am fully aware of the importance wire routing....

I just went OTVC and never have to worry about them again! Reason I did it that way is cuz stock routing is a huge pain.

Replace the wire, get some zip ties, reroute them yourself. It's not that hard.

Cool products, but it really seems redundant. Get some zip ties and a new wire. You just saved yourself $70.

This is the first time I've ever ran a 1/4 mile. Let me just say "street tires didn't work, need some slicks!!" I had alot of fun though. Still waiting for my tune job next week. Everyone claimed the track was really cold and it showed with everybody spinning out...

if it is on the drivers side,the change should only take a few minutes as for the passenger side to do it correctly should be a 20-30 min job
