What I implied was that they don't wear (sorry if that wasn't  
clear).  They may break or occasionally be poorly assembled (George  
Baxter got a lovely shock off the set on one of the eS2's he built  
when he touched the boot while the car was running- 2 wires had boots  
that hadn't been properly glued), but they don't wear.  They're  
warranted for life, I believe.  I used to measure their resistance on  
a yearly basis, and got bored doing so after a few years of finding  
the same resistance every year.

Sure beats the scam Bosch has going.  Wires.  That wear.  Tell that  
to anyone outside the automotive industry and they'd look at you like  
you were from Mars.

Not to mention, the Magnecor wires cost a fraction of what a set of  
OEM wires cost, and made of silicone, the entire assembly is stil  
quite flexible and none of the wires have cracked insulation.

I could give a hoot about 'performance' claims (I know they're BS), I  
just care if they're built well, last long, do what they're supposed  
to, and are inexpensive.
