The Mopar performance wires definitely cause a static in the stereo system. I now have MSD wires with no problem.

Most go with the MSD 8.8mm - low resistance - spiral wound wire over carbon
impregnated fiber - Roe sells them for around $70 a set

MSD is good stuff.

Moroso wires are also, but not sure about on the Viper.......

I like the way the MSD connectors attach to the wires.
It's unlike most of the other wires I've seen - the connector actually clamps
to the wire separately from the insulator clamp.

Just make sure to add extra insulation around the plug connector to
shield it from the headers.

www.summitracing.com has the MSD's for $73....if Sean doesn't have any...I also am running MSD's, but I like Magnecor's too, but they are around $135/set...

I have the MSD 8.8 mm wires - they are nice, perform well and look good.

(Smoke has the 10.0 mm - not that being second best means anything) :doh:

I have the magencore 10mm wires. I like them, they have no notable noise. I went to a car show and saw some HUGE 12mm moroso wires for a V8.....bet those would look great cut to a custom lenth in a Viper.

Well then, I guess I'll be looking for some 15mm's [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

I tried the Mopar blue wires, and got radio/CD static, so I went back to using stock wires. Nothing like wasting $100

Moroso or Magnecor will make custom wire sets, not much more than a regular priced AM set...Magnecor only wanted $160 for a custom set...but the guy was a dick about it...

At what thickness does the weight of a set of wires begin to affect your 1/4 mile times?

I'm running Magnacore 8.5s on my car, and had them on my '93 RT too. No electrical noise.
