difference in axle boots

Got to say i personally like the less pleats of the aftermarket oem replacement axle boots over the oe standard. Oe has so many pleats they are tight to eachother which make for a perfect holding area for dirt/sand to get stuck and slowly grind away at the boots. Notice everytime i clean up from a ride when i roll machine forward to hose out all 8 boots, everytime there is gunk stuck…hopefully as im forced to replace axles due to oe boot clamp failures i can get more life from these.
