I have seen more issues with the SE wires than the stock ones. On the M8 it does not use Ion sense so the wires do not bother the ECM like they did on previous models.

also recall folks not being crazy about those SE plugs that are $15 + apiece, seems like they didn't perform as advertised and some reporting having issues..always seemed the general consensus was to stick with the OEMs

Or..... I wonder if that liquid rubber stuff you dip your tool handles in would be pliable enough to bend and not crack PLUS increase you plug wire insulation thickness........ Don't they come in different colors?
