Accel Extreme 9000 Ceramic Wire Sets: The Cure for Burned Plug Wire Boots
Headers and ignition wires don’t mix. Make them play nice with a set of Accel Extreme 9000 ceramic wires.
Why They’re Cool: Accel says its Extreme 9000 Ceramic wire kits are the cure for burnt spark plug boots. Considering the wires have ceramic boots on the spark plug end that can handle up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit —right where most wires encounter hot header tubes—we believe them. That makes these wires ideal for use with tight-fitting headers, in an engine bay with little room, or in a RV with boots that melt because of intense heat. Accel says even if the headers glow red-hot, the ceramic boots will not burn.
The Extreme 9000 Ceramic wires have an 8mm Ferro-Spiral core with a 500 ohms/ft. resistance rating, which combines excellent energy delivery to the spark plug with high levels of RFI/EMI suppression. Other features include double silicone jackets (rated to 600 degrees Fahrenheit) and stainless steel spark plug terminals for maximum spark energy to the plugs.
