Taylor Thundervolt Wire broke on 1st plug change!
I've had the Thundervolts for about a year. Went to change the plugs yesterday for the 1st time since putting the wires on and one of the plug wires internals broke. The part of the wire that connects to the plug. I pulled it straight off and didn't jerk on the wire. Couldn't believe it! Anyone else have this problem?

I had straight-boot MSDs (and red - only thing
available at the local speed shop when the Taylor
broke, coming off for header install). The boot there
was up against the pipe when done. Seemed not to
hurt it any but I didn't like the look of it, should it
ever get to high heat. I never fitted up the Taylors,
no point. LS2s clear fine. Angled MSDs would probably
clear fine too. If they had black and angled ones on
the shelf those would still be on my car. But I guess
red is the color of money.
