Stock ford cable, or the MM cable which is a stock cable lengthened 10" or so I believe. Any adjustable crap cable will snap on you because they are smaller in diamter than a stock cable. Much thinner.

First make sure your cable is as far away from the header. I snapped 2 brand new cables and then i realized the cable was too clost to the exhaust. The cable would heat up too much and then snap.

i have UPR cable i think it is pretty thick and had it for over a year now and still looks new. I took it out to lube it the other day. I also have the spec stage 2, might want to consider that
