Not to be a jerk but I am aware that there are alternatives out there for 502 and 454 motors but the EFI 496 mag ho motors are a whole different story I did a lot of homework on this and the best solution I could come up with is the MSD wires.
As far as stereo feedback I did ask about that and they said that it should not be a issue at all. Only time will tell.

I remember cutting and installing Accell wires (big fancy 8.8mm yellow ones) for my Trans Am, in a military base parking lot some 20 years ago. I had a fancy stereo (for the day) at that time as well, and I had a ton of feedback. It's probably much different nowadays with electronic ignitions; but the memory still remains.

I haven't been keeping up with the general forums, but Raylar used to have lots of sets of the 496 plug wires that were "take-offs" from the packages he made. Could probably search on here to see if he is still around. I think he was somewhere under $100 for a brand new set of Merc wires for the 496s'.

Craptastic....sorry, stand corrected, I didn't see the 496 part. the vette plugs work for 502s.

The plug wires that I ordered from Summit Racing worked perfectly.!! Way cheaper than Mercs and they all fit no problem. I had to cut all of them down and I used the 90 degree boots instead of the long straight boots. Big money saver!!
