Default Wires

Hey,
My Nology wires are horrible. Should I buy OEM wires or upgrade to Magnecor; etc. I've got a stumble at around 4500 rpm. I played with the wires a bit and it went away, but now it's back .
So I'm replacing my decomposing wires.
Thanks, Josh

I had Nology wires on my old car and they were excellent! Are they just that old and in poor shape? Or do you think it is the Nology product that is not sufficient?

Magnecore are the best wires out there, and conveniently the cheapest option as well - go with them.

Nology are junk.

How do you tell if you get a stumble at 4,500rpm that your wires are bad?

My Nology wires kind of fell apart too. I put OEM (Beru) back on and have had no problems at any boost or HP level.

Hosrom, I found the best way to check your wires is to open the hood at night with your engine running and if your wires are bad you will see a nice light show. This will not rule out all of the problems but it will tell you if you have a major problem with your wires.
