Why? they only are about 8" long and don't touch any other wires.

The wires are only a couple of inches long...they are too short to make any difference.

None of them will make a difference. I've had MSD, Taylor, Stock, GMPP, and autozone. Right now I have 6 autozone wires and 2 taylors on the car. This is on a 1100+rwhp car. I would have just kept the stock wires. Only difference is the fitment and color.

Bigger diameter wires in a fun color look cool, which is a completely legitimate reason to do them...after all, lots of engine mods are bling.

Good choice, they are what I use also. Good quality wire for a good price and they are Made in the U.S.A.

MSD likes their wires too much, and have read a lot about boot separation when changing out the plugs.

You can see both ends of the wires in the picture above. It is an easy unplugging of each end and re-plugging the new ones. They are very short because each cylinder has its' own coil right above each plug. In my opinion, the biggest reason to get different ones is for looks.
