So my Magnecor wires showed up yesterday.

Took maybe 10 minutes to install them....real easy!!

Took the car for a spin and was pleasantly surprised by the pickup in acceleration. We're not talking huge, but it definitely give you more jump.

In addition to the wires I have a Pipercross air kit and the car feels much more responsive now.

If anyone had any questions about wires before, I can hoestly suggest going out a picking up a set. For the price you won't be disappointed!!

Oh I forgot this too.....

It seems to really help with the cold start problem as well. Haven't had a problem started my Cooper on the first try since having the wires.

Plug wires should not make this much difference on a new car!

Car seeems to idle more smoothly, less hesitation, better throttle response.
Amazing.
I swear I don't work for Magnecor, but go out and get some of these!
