Are Taylor wires worth buying? What is the difference from OEM?
I have Taylors and like them. Some people claim that they are junk,
but I have had them for about 3 years now with no problems. At the time, I had about 70K miles on the original wires and im guessing plugs. I changed the wires over, new plugs, and installed a MSD Blaster coil all at the same time. I didn't notice really any difference in how the car ran, but my gas mileage went from about 210-220 miles per tank up to almost 300, so it for sure was running better and making more power. Wether it was the wires, the plugs, the coil, or combination of all I dont know.

I went Taylors simply because I wanted to do over the valve cover. As far as performance difference, I don't think theres any difference between new stock wires and any of the performance wires out there...
I throw a vote out for them being junk. Me and a friend both had new sets and almost immediately they started arching. You could see them arching off of anything they touched. I had one spot were a wire would lay on the VC so i put electical tape over it and that didn't help. The only thing i could do to insulate the piece of junk was put hunks of 3/8's hose over the outside of the wires where ever they were in contacts with metal. They weren't getting rubbed through either just laying there the arched.
Mine have been good. If you get the custom set and route them in the factory looms, they are pretty close tolerance on the length, you've got to be very precise on the selection and routing of the wire or it will come up short of the plug, especially 2,4,6.
I see so many people have problems with wires... I don't see why, it's an easy process. Route them in the stock location and you will be perfectly fine. The Taylor 8mm fit easily in the stock looms. I have no arching or anything either. + for taylor.
