Yeah I pulled my stock 2010 wires (grey ones) off and some of the metal bands that clip into the coil have broken off. Hoping the GM reds will be good enough for a few years. I'll let everyone know! Thanks for all the input from everyone!

Interesting. I always grab onto the boot, never the wire, when I pull them off. Never had an issue. Probably just been lucky.

Decided to try the hinson MSD copies. A bit short but they do fit. Finally got my headers in but waiting on xpipe from Kooks so it'll be a while before I know if these plug wires work with headers or not.
