Default Taylor 409 10.4mm wires

Hey guys the time has come to replace my msd wires and since I have a blue meziere and a couple other small things I'd like to do blue wires as the red just doesnt really fit.

So far I have only seen the summit brand 8mm wires and the taylor 409 series 10mm ones in blue. I like the taylors but was wondering if anyone has tried them. i didnt find much with a search. Just want to make sure I'm not making a downgrade from the msd's in terms of any power of resistivity. The taylors are the spiral core ones as the thunderbolts arent made in blue. Does anyone know what the difference is?

Forget Taylors, too many people around here have had too many problems with them-including me.

Granatelli zero Ohm wires, in blue. Ya can't do better.

If you've got 1 7/8 headers like your sig says you better get bendable boots. Picking a plug wire based on color is like picking a wife based on her t!ts. It's dumb. Firecore50s are some of the best wires made hands down, but don't fit everyone's budget. I've had good luck with MSDs and they are priced right. In my mind its ACDelco for non-bendable stuff, MSD when you need the boot flexibility, and Firecore when budget isn't an issue. Everything else is irrelevant.

And if you absolutely hate the red, buy some heat shields to cover the wire. That will cover the red, protect the wire, and look good too.

Thanks guys I know picking the color is dumb its just I need new wires anyway as the msd's are 4-5 years old and since the sub wire kit is blue along with the mezeire I wanted to match it up. But I suppose black will work too
