Couple items for good housekeeping I feel the need to mention and reiterate:


- At no point is it EVER a great idea to allow the wires with heat sleeves on them to touch headers. That is a recipe for disaster and will require prompt replacement of said wire.


- Things have definitely not been the same in the automotive game as far as parts QA/ QC since these singular corporate entities have been buying up all of the parts brands. This is why I'm very adamant at this point about purchasing from independent companies that are stateside based before I purchase from one that makes stuff overseas. USUALLY there tends to be a much better adherence to quality given that since the companies are smaller, their entire reputation is at stake if they are getting badmouthed by one or. A few customers so they make sure that their stuff is top notch before it ever leaves their facility.


- NGK wires definitely used to be awesome and fit very well if not were a 1/1 direct replacement/ fitment over factory stuff. Given what I spoke of above, I don't know if that has changed in the last decade (I believe it has actually because I think that they recently got acquired by some other BS company and I noticed that as I was browsing their website for spark plugs specs), but I would be leery about purchasing from anyone outside of Moroso, GPI, and Granatelli. There may be a few others but those are the big ones that I know about.
