Magnecore 8.5MM Question
I just ordered some magnecore wires from LPE. The guy there told me to get the ones with a 45 degree angle on the boot since I am installing headers. The LPE PN 85259.
I was wondering if anyone is running these?
Thanks,

By the way, I put header "socks" on my stock wires. I'm running Kooks headers.

From what I understand, If our stock wire are not cracked or broken, replacing them with Aftermarket wire will not do anything. They are to short, from what I have read here.
