I have a few buddies with Taylor wires and seem to be happy with them!

I've had the metal clip on the spark plug end pull through the boot on more than a couple of sets of Taylor's. The MSD's are a little more vague on the spark plug end when making that connection but I've never had one pull through when changing plugs.

never used them on my C5, but had them on the Camaro, hate them, P.O.S..... never will use them again.... they don't last long, and seem to fall apart when you change plugs.... on the C5, I've been using GMPP wires...

When I changed my plugs, I broke 2 of the wires, pulled them right out of the snap clip that goes on the plug. I called MSD and they said I pulled them off wrong. MSD coils and plug wires for C5s suck!

I'm looking at taylor and now Moroso because of the blue color. It will match some other trim pieces in my engine compartment. I have a set of old gm red wires. I took one to the parts store and compare to the taylors, didn't see much different on the visual parst of them. The inner core and the way it connects to the boot at the plugs seems the same. I starting to think that all the wires in the price range of $50 to $100 are pretty much the same quality.
