To what?? Resistor wires ???
Benz wires have NO resistance.. they are solid core wires ..the resistors are on the ends of the wires in thew plug connectors..so, you are putting resistor plug connectors on top of resistor plugs..doubling the resistance.
If you eliminate the plug connector/resistor end, and leave the solid core Benz wires , you may come close to stock with a resistor plug. But changing wires gets you nothing b/c you can not get wires with LESS resistance than the stock wires..
The reason Benz uses solid core wires is b/c resistor wires have resistance by the foot of each wire , so every wire , being different lengths, has a different resistance. benz find that unacceptable..and solid copper core wires are far superior ...........every plug gets the same resistance [ and thus, the same voltage], regardless of the differing lengths of plug wires. The triggering ECU likes that resistance consistancy for each and every cylinder.
