Never used them BUT,,,,,,you could have most likely have spent your money on a better performamance up-grade. You will most likely gain little or no HP unless your other wires were causing issues.

If there spirial wound cores, they will have inductance which will help eliminate RFI and EMI.

I've never used them, but from the pictures I've seen, they have a braided shield wire that you connect to a good ground. That should keep the noise down.

I have had them in my car now for 3 years
ok wires no problems
the plugs on the other hand
a big price for not mutch
and they are very noisy with the stock radio
cd player had not mutch of a buzz but the am/fm real noisy
i found that the factory plugs worked just as well and took care of all the noise
i might be giving up some mythical performance but i cant tell
sts twin with 600rwhp

hope this helps

Silver is not very durable for plugs, you wont get too many miles out of them.
