Ya think?
My plug wires have straight ends and are really close to my 4-into-4 headers. I added insulating sleeves, but it appears that they were still a bit too close. This is the worst of three - the other two are very milky white and hard, with lots of cracks, but this one just disintegrated.
These wires were designed for an OEM appearance, but I'm now upgrading to some black silicone hi-temp wires with angled ends, which should route the wires up and away from the header primary tubes. And, just to be careful, I ordered a new set of insulator sleeves.
