Default Spark plugs and wires

I've been looking into getting replacement plugs/wires for my Accent and found that NGK and Magnacore are the supposedly the best. Are they different in price and is one really better than the other?

Also, I heard that valve cover air breathers help with air flow... is that true? or are they just for looks..?

great choices, but the breather is mostly there for looks...
MSD also offers a "bolt on" wire set for the alpha 1.5 ,nice fit and no problems with it

I'm not familar with the MSD wires, so I cannot comment, but at $40, they are less than half the cost of the Magnacore's.

I personally reccomend the Magnacore's.

i got a set of MSD wires on two cars,with no problems great fit,and very good locking terminals

if you want to saver a bit of cash MSD also offers a "universal" wire set on wich only one end is pre-crimped the aluminium crimping tool is also included get the "straight & socket style" kit
the only custom fit wire set they for hyundais is for the 1.5 SOHC someone over there must have an accent....

MSD is considered by many off road and drag teams as the best available wires so they can't be too far off.

thanks for replying finally

i just want to get wires that are better than the stock ones at a price that wont brake my pocket. i asume those are.
mine is a stock car. minor modifications only like a cone air filter using the factory intake.
the idea is to get rid of some of its rought points in powertrain.
