I looked up the Taylor set for a GTO and they're $150. And I don't care for the Accel brand, I've heard some bad stuff about their stuff, it might be hit or miss. So I decided on some I'd heard about on EBay, and I'll give them a try. I cancelled the order for the heat socks, so that saves me $60. These are 7 1/4" from end to end and will fit an LS with my coils. Better than the 11 3/4" that the Taylors are.
Don’t you think that shrink tubing will melt next to headers?I looked up the Taylor set for a GTO and they're $150.

No. I’ve tried to melt high temp heat shrink by holding a heat gun on it for a long time and it doesn’t melt. They put heat shielding on the wires so Im pretty sure they didn’t hold it in place with something that melts. They’re made for headers. Supposedly good up to 1800 direct or 2500 radiant. I guess I’ll see though. I’ll be the TYF guinea pig lol.

What brand are they and what did they run you? Thankfully I haven't had an issue with mine yet.

They're custom made by the company I bought them from, no name brand. Not sure whose parts they use. 10 mm wire like the Taylors. $118. Fingers crossed.

I’ve been thinking of a new HU after using the new Pioneer I installed in the Silverado and the new Kenwood in the Tahoe. I considered just swapping the Sony in The Beast with the one in the Tahoe until I pulled the dash and checked on the wiring. Whoever installed that one hacked the shit out of the wiring, it’s a scary mess. I stuffed it back in. Then the other day Crutchfield sent me another catalog and I saw an article on wireless CarPlay. Car mfrs. are lagging in this Tech but some aftermarket units have it. I always hated having to plug my phone in before CarPlay worked. Now I won’t have to.
