People saying it is a waste are correct. First the "capacitor wires" are not helping anything. Second, it replaces a much better system (COP) which prevents transmitting high side voltage across the engine bay (which allows for more cross-fire, arcing and loss) with a standard coil off plug system, which in this case is ridiculous. Nology will make anything to sell thier "hotwires".

But I know that you just installed these for looks. So I guess you got that out of it.

I wouldnt even by a spark plug from Nology, let alone anything else.

Well I was going to buy these but after I read this im not. I thought it replaced your coils and kept it cop. Having it like that is just pointless. For show I guess thats ok but im not going to spend money on something that says more performance and you really gain nothing except for looks under the hood.

aside from the "is it better or not debate" you should rotate the coil packs clockwide so that the connector tilts towards the driver side to reduce the tension of wires connecting to the coil packs.

I dont really like the idea of having the coils mounted like that either... but that is a good idea to turn it...

Is there at least a difference in gas mileage?
