I had the linsey mag wires and they never clicked on right and the car now runs better with the original wires. Going slightly ot i wonder if the engine would run any better if all the wires were of equal length? This would make for equal spark to all 4 cylinders?

Had them on my last three street cars and my race car. Never had a problem. Just bought new ones to install on the 951.

Have run Magnecore for 4+ years years and removed them many times - never had a problem.

I bought Magnecor by the foot, for ~$1/ft., and re-used the old boot ends. 8mm is best, but I squeezed 8.5 mm wires into the old boots. Works fine, for years, with no problems.

New magnacore wires, less than 500 break in miles on the car, all of the boots started cracking, they all ripped when I tried to take them off.

Going back to stock Porsche sourced Beru wires. They lasted for well over 120k miles. The quality difference is staggering. Magnacore are crap.
