The factory routed them and never had a problem.  You must do the same and you will get the same result.  Follow the original factory wires guides

  • As Dion, suggested, make sure you route them properly. There should be clips to guide the wires. Make sure the area is clean and dry.
  • Get good quality carbon core wires with silicone insulation.
  • You can also trying applying dielectric grease to the spark plug boots.
  • Maybe bend the heat shield out of the way a bit where it arcs. In case it moved.
