What headers?

 

Got a set of OBX long tubes off of a member here.

100% agree... get these, and be done with it.

 

New wires wouldn't hurt but stock ones could be used. Heat socks would definitely be helpful either way though.

 

Depending on how old your wires are, they break when taking them off. I went to change my plugs and all my wires broke so i wound up buying pcm wires with heat socks . It would be a good time to do while you are there

 

Good point. Probably should do plugs as well.

 

Mine broke when i removed them too

 

A couple of My first set of MSD wires were stuck on the plugs. I ended up cracking a plug removing one and destroying the wire. Bought a new set and used some dielectric grease and they're fine now.

 

Have used these on 2 TBSS's and never an issue & that's without socks! Call them and see if you can get the 10.5mm if you care to go this route.

Same ones I run. Great wires. Taylor Thundervolt 50 part# 98003

 

the wires might as well be welded on like said before you would be a magician to get them off without rendering at least one useless...Also running MSD have no complaints but I have not tried to pull these off yet.

 

I would go ahead and get new wires. I've never installed OBX personally (we do a lot of Kooks and Pacesetter here) but if they are anything like the ones I've seen, the 90 degree angle on the plug side is likely going to get into a primary or two.

We sell MSD's which are a nice option for $70 (black or red) and have a bendable bottom boot to clear primaries. We also sell our own brand PCM of NC, they have a 45 degree boot on the bottom to clear the primary.

 

Sounds good, I'll do some research over the weekend and get some some coming. Thanks

 

Pcmforless wires with heat socks. Had msd wires on mine when I bought it and had nothing but issues with them coming off of the spark plugs and burning on my headers. After replacing them with pcmforless wires I haven't had any issues to date. The msd wires never felt tight on the plugs but the pcmforless wires "pop" onto the plugs when installing them.

 

Both sets of MSD wires I've had clicked in place. As a matter of fact I couldn't get a few of them off and had to replace them when doing plugs last time.

 

Yea idk why the ones I had did that. I found out the original owner had the same issues that I was having with them. Guess they should of been replaced a long time ago. It sucked because when one would come off it wouldn't misfire unless I was under heavy load or going up hills.

 

The lower boots didn't seem to hold up very well on my msd wires. They were cracked and looked like they were dry rotted but sill very pliable..

 

Well I was thinking about doing the MSD's but now I think I'll just spring the couple extra dollars and do the PCM's and heat socks. Thanks for all the input guys

 

I will honestly say those are the nicest wires I have ever seen. All the guys at my shop said the same thing. Worth the extra money over the msd wires in my opinion. Just make sure you get the heat socks with them.

 

I have had a couple issues with the msd wires popping off on 2 and 4. If I keep having issues they will be replaced with the pcmofnc wires.

 

Hate to say it man, I would do it now. Mine would do it at the worst timing ever. Last time happen when I was on a 700 mile road trip.

 

My MSD wires are very tight. I have a set of PCMofNC wires waiting for my next spark plug change.

 

Yea, the last time it happened my wife was driving. Kinda shitty since MSD usually puts out a decent product.:wtf:

 

I have the PCM wires and socks on the way. Hopefully next weekend I can install the long tubes, converter and 4" fwi with LS7 MAF

 

The socks are not needed with stock exhaust manifolds, right?

 

Correct , I have the PCM wires installed with stock manifolds right now. I got the heat socks anyway because I plan on adding long tube headers soon.
