| The number one
question asked about ignition wires is what benefits do performance
wires offer over factory wires and what makes some wires better
than others. First it is important to remember that factory
spark plug wires are developed and produced in mass quantity for automakers
intent on building a quality automobile for the least amount
of money per unit in order to maintain a higher profit margin.
In other words they usually use higher quality components in
places where the consumer will notice. Most consumers don't
really care what kind of ignitions wires come on their car
or truck. The spark plug wires they use are made with carbon center core,
plate steel and EPDM vinyl instead of silicone. They are not
insulated which causes engine noise through the stereo system
when amplifier upgrades are added. The components they use
are inferior and are not designed for enhanced performance
or long-term durability.
The second most popular question is how do Vitek wires differ from other performance
spark plug wires on the market? The biggest difference is that we manufacture our ignition
wire products using only the highest quality components such as stainless steel
instead of plate steel, 100% silicone instead of EPDM vinyl plastic for the insulation
coating and we use Brass and Stainless steel for the connectors instead of plate.
Also, Vitek spark plug wires are triple insulated instead of a single extrusion for better
RFI and EMI reduction. This is what really makes Vitek spark plug wires shine because you
can upgrade your audio and or ignition system without getting noise from the
speakers. Vitek also uses stainless steel snap rings to help keep the wire tight
on the spark plug. To top it all off we incorporate a 1200º degree outer braid
to protect against extreme heat. The braid is available in 8 bright colors. Finally,
the biggest difference between Vitek and our competitors is how we stand behind
our products. Our spark plug wire warranty is second to none. The first year is repair
or replace unconditionally and from that point forward they are warranted for
life with a $50.00 deductible.
The best example of the benefit performance spark plug wires offer is
when you step on the gas at a stoplight and feel a bogging
sensation until you reach about 40 mph and then the power kicks
in. The reason for this is that you are trying to force more
fuel into the system than the system can burn with low-end
spark plug wires. The smoke coming out the tail pipe is simply unburned
fuel. The factory spark plug wires do not burn hot enough to efficiently
burn all of the fuel your sending into the fuel system. Performance
ignition wires deliver a more consistent powerful spark for
a hotter burn and better fuel economy.
