thanks

I bought mine direct from magnecor. 220k on the car and never a problem. The boots on the spark plug end may need a little trimming to get a tight fit, but I'm glad I did it. Good peace of mind.

I too am very happy with the wires and also a very interesting read on there website ....I ordered them over the phone...I had them slightly customized with different plug ends and longer wires especially for the coil wire...this way the wire set can become more universial for perhaps to be used on another type of car...

awesome. i've bought a number of sets and they are fantastic. you can get them cheaper if you look around the internet. i can't recall where i bought my last set but revolution something or another was in the name, just found it plugging around the internet. i beleive they were in NY, i called and ordered over the phone.

 

check their website, they make sets for just about every subaru.

 

a friend was replacing his jeep wires every 15,000 - 30,000 miles. i suggested switching to magnecor and he's never replaced them since...has about 240,000 on his jeep now. another friend i installed them for had some stupid freaking mechanic throw them away and install junk $11 cheapies in their place. so if you do buy them....make sure someone else doesn't throw them away!

What is the Advantage?, Last Longer?, Increased Performance?

... I never Heard about Magnecor...

does any one have a preference over what size to use. they offer 7, 8 and 8.5 wires for the loyale. You know other then the bigger is better theory any pluses to the bigger ones.

Bigger= more heat EMI/RFI insulation, good for high-temp applications, and they also have a larger-diameter core - good for high-output ignition systems.

 

Actually, it's all on their website. I recommend the KV-85, especially for the turbos. In reality, though, any one of them will outlive most other brands and the core will not break down.

get the 7mm wires, they will fit nicer in your stock wire holders and the larger wires won't give you any added value at all. unless of course you like the colors of the bigger ones.

 

there's no performance gain to be had with ignition wires, any that claim to improve performance are really stretching the truth. they may improve performance because your other ones were 10 years old and arcing! but any new ignition wire would solve that problem. i like magnecors because they will last as long as the vehicle, then you can put them on your next one (nice for people like me that own dozens of the same exact car!). the "performance" gain is really that these wires will not degrade over time and will likely perform better at 100,000 miles than other ignition wires. in high performance, high output systems there are other factors to consider but there isn't really any horsepower to be "found" or gained on a stock subaru engine in the ignition department. the stock wires are perfectly capable of delivering the spark necessary to develop the huge horsepower of any EA/ER series engine (ha ha!). i'll never replace the wires in my soobs, i like that for a variety of reasons.

 

if you never want to touch your wires and plugs again guy magnecor wires and torquemaster spark plugs. i've used both and they are excellent. the plugs are very expensive though, but will last 100,000's of miles without degrading. (been there, done that)

I just get universal 8mm V8 sets and make two subie sets from them. But then I'm way too cheap for megnecor's - I pull decent plug wire sets from the junk yard when I see em too. All my engines run fine.

When replacing plug wires, I always use steel or copper wire instead of the resistor type. Yes, radio interference is sometimes a problem BUT solid wire types will last forever. If you decide to go this route, you must make them up yourself by buying a roll of wire and the necessary ends as manufactures no longer offer them made up.
