I don't think those will fit. I though the magnecors were the only option for spark plugs

I have them, and they are blue :). Other than that I don't think that the wires do alot for you. I used them to replace my stock wires at the 60k maintenance just to be sure I wasn't losing any spark. They haven't done anything bad over the last 20k. The fit is good on my 5S-FE and they use the OEM looms. The Magnacores are 3.0mm thicker I think, but according to NGK that doesn't matter. As too compare them to the Magnacore wires, I cannot, as I have not owned them.

I got them for 43.51 w/ free shipping from http://www.clubplug.net/retail_wire_ngk.html

That is for the 5S though. I don't know how much the wires for the 6 are there if you need those.

Hope this is useful info. Also, I know nothing about the fitment on the 6cyl. :)
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.

actually yanks, i emailed the company to make sure they had the set compatible with our cars and he says they do. what's the best place to get the magnecore wire set? kinda expensive imo..does the wire set REALLY matter.

The best place is sander @ the wheel supply. The size of the wire does matter in a sense, but not really. We are not building race cars here. The extra diameter is due to the extra insulation and make a little thicker wire. The magnecors may perform a little better, but wires don't wires don't add performance :wink: I don't know why everyone uses the magnecor wires, maybe its the same reason that we all use denso iridium plugs when TRD reccomends NGKs, right ICUFG

I have NGK Blue wires and Denso's I love the wires but I have had nothing but problems out of my Denso's I just ordered the new NGK Iridium plugs that are much more reliable and TRD recommendeds them. As for the Magnecor wires they are overkill, and our cars do not need such a heavy duty wire. If we were running top fuel engines with 500+ HP I would say spend the extra money. I paid under 40 for the blue NGK wires and they are very reliable. I bought mine at http://www.nopionline.com
