I had them once upon a time. It was on a Prelude however. The difference was negligible. MAYBE I gained a MPG or so, but that was it. They sure were tough tho, hahahaaa.

Welcome to the site BTW. Show us some pics of the ride when you can :tup:

Got a set with a Malory Multi spark ignition on an 87' Scirocco 1.8 16v, noticeable MPG. Oh and the cables and ground straps do look the business.

Ignition Solutions has better products. Got one of their Plasma Boosters on a 5.0 Bronco, noticeable power and MPG on 8mm wires.

I have them on my car and they did make a difference with my car I think mainly because of the older technology but I don't know about the newer cars?

Years ago, I bought the Nology setup and put it on my Scirocco. Did a before and after dyno, lost 3hp and 2ft tq.
I emailed Verner about the loss and he invited me up to Group 5 for a dyno demonstration with their wires.

They put a Buick V6 turbo on the dyno, did a pull. Then they replaced the wires with the NEW Nology wires. Did a dyno pull and it made 22hp more. Whoo, I said "lets put on a set of NEW stock plug wires and plugs and lets see what numbers that makes"?

Well, they never did that but the old wires that came off the car were pretty toasted.

THen he tells me I need to run stock timming and other BS. I tossed them and put on a stock set, made more power.

So my official opinion is they are just another feel good GIMIC. Especially after the way he treated me and didnt want to back up the claim. Plug wires are plug wires.

I have them on the Corrado. No difference over any other aftermarket ignition wires, whatsoever. Not worth the extra $$. Just get Magnecore's and you're good to go.
