Default Spark Plug Wires

I know this may come off as a newb question but when I was swapping the opti during the cam swap i was pulling the plug wires off and 4 of the boots split. They are MSD 8.5mm wires and have only been on the car for about 3 years.

Am I gonna notice any difference what-so-ever by getting a stock replacement set? Really don't wanna spend another $100 on plug wires.

At only 3 years, maybe try new boots on the 4 that split?

If that doesn't work, you could try the Moroso Blue Max pre-cut kit. I've used them a couple of times, and I was completely satisfied with them, and I think they're $15-20 less than the MSDs.

Hmm... may have to check the moroso out. I would see if msd would replace mine but I have no idea where my receipt is. Because I bought them through ws6store when I did my headers and it came with the plugs and wires as a kit.
