Magnecor ignition leads

Has anyone any comments on magnecor leads for or against.

I'd recommend them. I've just swapped my leads for some Magnecor and changed the plug extenders too. The car now runs much more smoothly below 2000rpm and makes driving in traffic bearable (used to bounce down the road!).

Bought a set of 8mm leads and extenders through www.actproducts.co.uk and received them the next day! Excellent service!

Bought 8.5KV leads and can't say I see much difference, but my coil was playing up at the time. Car runs fine now so even in traffic and alot of clutch usage.

If your leads were good in the first place fitting Magnecors won't increase performance, BUT they will maintain performance and still be working in 10 years.
Its like fitting K&N filters , stainless exhausts etc.
The trouble is that TVR engines bays get very hot and "normal quality" leads can degrade in a couple of years, this is why some people claim a performance increase when fitting Magnecors.

I fitted a set to my Alfa V6, seemed very good quality ( well they did cost at least £130!) If the Chim needs leads thats what it will get. Have you checked their web site, kind of says it all

Magnecor are good leads but I don't believe they last 10 years - the ones in my Chimaera lasted all of 18 months due to the high under bonnet temperatures. Given the price of the things I'd stick to standard 8mm leads and just replace them more regularly.

Sounds stange, are you using the metal adapters ?, I or Magnecor themselves have never come accross problems like this . the 8mm have a working suface temp resistance of 260 degrees C.
