Just put them in... I'm getting a much meaner sound to the engine at lower revs when I put my foot down.

Either from the leads or my manifold isn't on flush and is sucking air from engine bay! :D Might have to whip it off and check now i think about it....

It's only about $120 bucks.

Im happy with the leads, been in there for about 2-3months now.

You still have the calipers.

Response...hrmm maybe. More power ? Yep.

Do the magnecor leads in conjunction with Iridium sparkies, you'll definitely feel the difference.

I did Denso IK22 + Magnecor leads + Fresh mobil1 = 4kw atw gain. Can't complain.

I think the majority already have a set, either from the group buy organised by khungjeng last year and the more recent RPW group buy.

He's out at Parramatta. I'd take on old set with you thou... he always seem to f**k up the lengths & cuts them too short. I think Sugars got an old set from DIY day..

Yep, Sugar has stuck :lol:

The 8.5mm are a pain in the ass to make & will tkae longer. The rear plug boots (or sockets, whatever you want to call them) have to be drilled out to fit the lead in.

Can this stuff be purchased (say from RPW) and installed by yourself? Or do you need a professional to install the ignition leads for you due to the resizing etc..

I'm planning on buying these leads...however my knowledge about this product isn't so great.

Would the kit be enough to cover all the sparks?

Sorry I don't have much mechanical knowledge...but I'm learning :D

I think I need new leads, might as well buy these and change my spark plugs that i've had for the past 2 years (didn't change them cos current ones were fine).

Cars been misfiring lately, very rare but still not right, time to change sparkies n leads!

I'll check out the link ben posted

Is there much price difference in buying these from autobarn to buying them from the warehouse??
