msd ignition wires

Has anyone ever had any problems out of msd ignition wires. I am thinking they might be the reason I was having ignition problems when I was tuning my car.

They are too long.
I cut mine down & recrimped the connectors.

OEM wires are $30-something from Ray at Malloy Mazda. Since you won't see any power difference, I wouldn't advise using aftermarket wires unless they were $20 or less.

Thanks I already put my stock wires back on they seem to be doing fine. I looked at a boot on one of the msd wires it was pulled op a little bit I bet it was arcing.
