Any other plug wire suggestions?

Anyone have any experience with STI wires (RoverConnection has them)? They sound like the same thing as Magnecor. Id also love to hear any suggested alternatives to magnecor I am going to be switching out my 3 month old Magnecors because I just had 2 plug connectors come off on me, and no I was not pulling too hard. It turns out this is not covered by their lifetime warranty and while I could just replace the two I don’t trust the others won’t do the ame thing next time. The STIs say that the plug connector is shrink-wrapped to the wire which sounds a little more sturdy than Magnecors crimp.

If anyone wants my old Magnecors (8.5mm)... well six of them anyway, let me know. I will send all 8\\; I figure an auto shop should be able to to put new connectors and boots on the other two. Prob not going to get to it for a week or two though.

Thanks,

I have no idea about the STI wires. How are they priced compared to the Magnacors? Well, I guess that I could just go and look for my self huh?

Don&\\;rsquo\\;t worry about it, I&\\;rsquo\\;m lazy too! About 1/2 the price of the Magnecors ($70).

I would take you up on the wire offer but I have a DI.

I got some "Allmakes" wires from British Pacific. Time will tell how good they are, but supposedly, it is a pretty solid brand for british aftermarket parts.
 
Hopefully they don''t crap out as fast as my last set did.

I can send em if you want to give it a go, and if they don''t work you can pass them on to someone else

Sure, I will send you a e-mail with my address tommorrow after work.

should be able to purchase 2 replacements direct from magnecor for relatively cheap.  Nice bargain though giving them away. 

Yeah, I know. The two would be $30 plus shipping. The thing is I don''t trust the others not to do the same thing after I saw the way they are connected and since I''m doing two I might as well do all of them. Plus, to be honest, I''m a little annoyed they wouldn''t replace them and just want them out of there. If they''d been on a year I''d be totally cool with it given possible oxidization etc, but only 3 months old and the first time they were removed, come on. After seeing how they are made it would have cost them next to nothing to replace them and kept a customer happy, a little goodwill goes a long way. The thing is they just came off, no abnormal pulling or anything and I was choked up on the boot. Looking at the wire the crimp didn''t even cut the silicone when it pulled through. The better thing is that I was pulling them to check the plugs for cracks because I''ve had a rough idle since I put them in. Since they pulled off I stretched out the crimp and then re-crimped the connector on the wire and now the rough idle is gone. I did have to cut the boot to get it through though so they are trashed. I guess I just expected more from the "lifetime warranty." Pretty much it seems only to cover things that basically can''t go wrong to begin with. Sorry for the rant, just a little annoyed and not looking forward to doing the job again.
