I understand that these wires are just a stock replacement (except they're blue!) But then there is these wires. What are the benefits, if any, of having the 7mm wires be over having the 5mm?

thicker wires can let the electricity flow with less resistance, and can result in stronger spark, which then leads to possibly burning the air/fuel mixture better. This can give you a slight increase in performance and fuel efficiency, however, i dont think you will be able to notice a difference in just spark plug wires.

So do you think the thicker wires would help if I did both plugs and wires? or are they really only going to benefit me if I have a performance ignition and all that? -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
