🛡️ JDMSPEED Black Shield Protective Sleeve Review

It was not possible to incorporate this into the cables. They look like they are of really good quality. but what doesn't fit you can't star high.

After spending a lot of money on a complete overhaul of my truck I wanted to go a step further and try to protect the spark plug leads from the heat of the exhaust manifold. as well as from road debris and inclement weather. They fit well and are well made.

The only issue I had with this product was the metal clip used on one end to secure the cuff to the connector wire. The metal clip was such a small circumference that it was impossible to put a shoe on the end of the connector wire so you had to spread the clip further and if you are not careful you can spread it too far and it won't fit properly on the plug. insert angle piece.
