Bringing back an old thread.... I got a set of these for my 05 4.8 2wd. The #4 cylinder spark plug wire won't even go on the spark plug, because the primary hits to boot. I tried taking off the metal heat shield (with plans on putting the DEI stuff on it) and it still won't go on. Anyone else have this problem?

 

sounds like the chinese kids who made your set were still hung over from the weekend...

 

That's a good point! I never thought of that.

Thank you for your assistance. I will contact the seller immediately about the alcohol policy at their company!

 

i just got a set of these and the quality seemed real nice. but the fitment wasnt so great. had to massage them a little to get them to fit.

 

Mine have almost 5 years and are still great , you cannot beat them for the price , even if you have to tweak them , which I have not , I've even had the y pipe off about 10 times over the years for trans and exhaust changes . Don't be afraid to mod or tweak them or improve them for your application .

I still would love to have a set of big dollar 1 7/8 pipes but it's not in the budget right now

 

Same here Tim. Mine fit great.

But if not...Much easier to bang on a set of $300 headers, than a high dollar set, lol...

 

shoot... i installed mine Jan of 2011 & ain't had to touch them since. had to loosen stuff up to get the back of the y-pipe to bolt up the first time, but other than that, i never had an issue with mine.

 

Any luck on these? I'm lookin at the same set but do not want 1.25" primaries

 

rel3rd...

Can you give any tips/tricks to getting the #7 plug boot over and on to the plug? I for the life of me cant get my hand in there well enough to snap it back on. its driving me insane!


EDIT: Never mind man. These aftermarket I have are a PITA. Used a factory wire instead and it went on easy as pie.

 

i know it's been forever, but just in case anybody cares...
i was off in the woods this afternoon & decided to hop over a log. as i'm rolling over it, of course i hear a snap, thump, and then my exhaust got real loud! i thought i surely broke a flange or primary or something.

got out & checked... all it was was the y-pipe joint where it crosses under the transmission came apart. in my garage tonight, i had to loosen the collector flanges to get enough play to put the pipes back together. this is the first time in 5.5yrs those nuts've been touched. i popped a dab of PB blast on them & had ZERO issues! they loosened right up and (even more miraculously) tightened back down without breaking.

hopefully all y'all's've held up that good!
