Firepower 9-mm ignition wires are the lowest-resistance wire that Taylor Cable Products makes: only 25 Ohms per square foot, meaning more horsepower, torque, and spark energy for your application. Taylor achieves this feat thanks to a coated-core blend of exclusive copper-nickel alloy bonded by a conductive acrylic cover and a ZIMPLEX® silicone outer jacket that provides additional heat and abrasion protection (up to 600 degrees and 102,000 volts of dielectric strength).

Available in Black with Silver lettering, with low-profile, color-coordinated, 100% silicone PROBOOTS®.

Note: Universal-fit sets available for most American-made vehicles (no imports).

Features

  • The ultimate performance/racing ignition wire available
  • Taylor’s lowest-resistance wire: 9-mm diameter and 25 Ohms per foot
  • Ferrite spiral-wound coated core
  • Perfect for the extremes of open-wheel racing and under-hood temperatures
  • Black with Silver lettering

A new and improved version of the popular stainless steel electric exhaust cut-outs from Doug’s Headers is here, now in a 2.25” diameter for more versatile installation capability (and for a lower price!).

The DEC225AK cut-outs feature a rugged gear-reduction 12-volt DC motor and a rotating gate for a seal that prevents leaks every time the cut-out is opened or closed.

A prewired harness with an illuminated rocker switch is included for easy installation. Ideal for racetracks that don’t require mufflers, this product allows you to uncork your exhaust with the flip of a switch on your dash.

Also available in singles and in complete kits with Y-pipes.

Features

  • Uncork your exhaust with the flip of a switch from your dash.
  • Ideal for racetracks that don’t require mufflers
  • Stainless steel electric exhaust cut-outs with 2 1/4” diameters.
