Kooks Spark Plug Wires
Hey y'all,
I am looking to replace my plug wires when I do my header install. I know the OEM wires are perfectly fine, but I would like to replace them with a set that are more heat resistant and have more clearance around the headers. It looks like Kooks has branded a set of their own that look very similar to Granatellis, but are way more cost effective. https://kooksheaders.com/plug-wires-ls-car What do y'all think? Anyone have a set of these? |

I have the Taylor 409's on my for the past 7 years, in the red color.. No heat boots either.

For concerns re: heat and mounting well around headers, I use Accell Ceramics. 9004C's.

I went with the Taylor's over OEM because I was doing a color theme under the hood and they had red ones I could get to go with the RJT, plus they were thicker diameter than OEM and just would look "beefier" under there. They fit great and never move and clear the header tubes nicely. You can't see them but here is an underhood shot.

These look appealing, but I have heard some bad things about Accel quality that has kept me from seriously considering them. You are pleased with these? Did you test the resistance on them? |
