Default Plugs/wires a must with lt's?
I'm going to install my lt headers and ory soon. Are plugs and wires a must when you put on headers? My car only has 52,000 miles on it. I know I should change the plugs soon anyways.

You may not have a choice after removal there may be problems with wires and/or plugs. Just plan on changing them.

what happens too them? I'm planning on doing my plugs and wires soon and headers eventually later on down the road. Should I wait till I'm putting on new headers to install new plugs and wires? I dont want to waste the new plugs and wires I just bought

My stock wires sat on the primaries. I went to MSD's because they're bendable. They fit perfectly. Might as well do the plugs while you're at it.

Sometimes wires get damaged when pulling to remove them, especially if they are affected by heat some. Also, spark plugs can get damaged and cracked.
