(There is no warranty on these wires, right?) The V6 tends to kill wires w/heat. Have any of you had these on for a while now & have you had any problems w/them? I saw a post saying that McNew's Automotive has them for $35 - is that accurate? Have any of you ordered from them w/no problems? Thanks!

The wires are made more "heavy duty" than the stock wires, so I think they'll last longer. Don't expect any big performace gains unless your old wires/plugs are really toasted.
