I have a 2006 TBSS with and LS2 and Pacesetter long tube headers (with thermal ceramic coating), which don't let you use stock plug wires because of space issues. Even expensive aftermarket wires with heat socks were getting cooked because of the header heat, especially on the even cylinders, causing misfires. I swapped these in for the 2 misfiring cylinders, and the ceramic part just touched the header on #2 or #4 (I forget which), but it doesn't matter - these things just take the heat - no heat socks needed (at least not for my issue). They have a nice positive "snap" that lets you know it's on the plug, too.
After $5k and 6 months in upgrades, I wish I would have bought these from the start of my "project". And they were just about the same price or less as the other ones that melted, once the heat sock costs are factored in. If you've got a similar heat problem, I'd highly recommend them.
On a Camaro LS3/L99 (and possibly all LS3/L99 engines), the coil packs location relative to the spark plugs is just a tiny little bit too far for these to 'snap' onto the coil pack and spark plug. It took some major force to snap them on, and on one plug, the amount of stretching on the cable created enough pulling force that it would eventually unplug from the spark plug. After working it on when the wire was warm, it managed to stay put.
Plugging these in when they are warm (sitting in a 70+ degree environment for a while) on a warm engine makes it easier, but it's still a chore, and after getting them on, it's easy to worry about them randomly unplugging.
These plug wires work great on my '12 Chevy 1500 with the 6.2L L9H. I have a set of Kooks Headers on it and there is one spot where the factory plug wire on the #3 cylinder hits one of the primary tubes. So I tried trimming the factory plug wire boot and added one of those boot protector heat shields but the wire still eventually burned. These new ACCEL wires with the 45 degree angle clear all the primary tubes with ease. I also was worried based on reviews that the wires were going to be short but if anything they are an inch too long.
I purchased this set for my 2007 Suburban 5.3L. I have Kooks headers installed and these work perfect. They have the correct angle and are the right length to keep them away from the header pipes. I just lost a wire from my last set due to heat even though the boot was protected with a sleeve. The wires on that set were 12" long. When one of the boot sleeves touched a header pipe, the boot got fried and that cylinder started to misfire. It was a costly mistake, wires and sleeves cost almost twice this set, that could have been prevented with a cable tie. The length on this set is 10" which is more than long enough. I was hesitant based on other reviews that said they were too short, but I needed a better solution and the 2000 degree boot sounded perfect. I had no problems with wire length. Installation was easy and each end of the wires went on with a satisfying click letting me know they are secure.
Installed these on my ls2 cts-v when I installed my headers. These are by far the nicest plug wires I have ever seen. I bought lithium grease because I didn't know that these come with grease.
Feature Product
- Ceramic boots withstand temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit
- Eliminates burned or melted plug wires
- Reflects heat away from the plug boot with no flaking or peeling
- Wires are rated at 600 degrees Fahrenheit and come already cut to factory length
- Boots available in both straight and right angle configurations
Description
ACCEL's Extreme 9000 ceramic wire sets make burnt plug-wire boots a thing of the past. Not enough room in your engine bay? Not enough room to work around your headers? No problem – the ceramic boots on the spark plug end of these specially designed wire kits withstand temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The ceramic coating acts as a heat mirror, reflecting infrared energy and heat away from the plug boot, and it's engineered to resist flaking and peeling. 8mm Ferro-Spiral core double-silicone wires deliver maximum energy to the spark plugs with built-in RFI/EMI suppression for street-driven vehicles. Already cut to factory length, these ultra-high temperature wires are rated at 600 degrees Fahrenheit, have 500-Ohms/ft. resistance, feature stainless-steel terminals, and are available in both straight and right-angle configurations.
Accel 9070C Ceramic LS Plug Wires - These have been a problem solver for tight clearance on a turbo header, but they are fragile. Just removing them for a plug change resulted in one boot being destroyed. Use a lot of dielectric grease and BE CAREFUL!
Awesome plug wires for tight fitting headers on an LS2. They don't burn through and work as advertised.
great product
Product works as expected. 550hp LQ9
There great if you have headers
