I'm still running the same steeda cable that has been in my car for almost 4 years now.

20k miles later, it still works fine

I wish I had the money to try the Ford OEM cable to see if it is in fact worth 4 times the price. Or just replace the FRP or Steeda cable when wears.

I do think my long tube headers shorten the life of the cable. You know the bracket of the driver's side frame that holds the cable in place. I installed a second one under the car. Off the crossmember to hold the cable away from my header pipe, closer to the oil pan. It also has a 8" section of heat insulation there too. This bracket/header makes for about a 10 deg angle going into the bellhousing hole. My pressure plate is 2300lbs. That probably doesn't help either.
