    5.7GSi spark plug wire set

    anyone using just automotive plug wires? Volvo Penta wants a lot for their brand of wires. I am hoping to get an aftermarket wire set. Anyone else do that? Any issues that any one can see? Any one try the E3 plugs. I have seen some good reviews of them but have not tried them.
