Default Who has lt headers and your aftermarket plug boot rests against a header tube?

I have pacesetters and magnacore wires. My bank one #2 plug wire (top ridge of the plug boot) is resting on a header tube. Suggestions for correcting this problem?

Mine rest pretty close like 1/2 inch from mine and I thought that was close. It don't show any signs of melting so I guess mine is ok. I wish I could tell you how to fix it but at least this will take it back to the top.

One of my OEM wires touch the header on the driver side, but hasn't shown any signs of melting yet.

I have the Dynatech SuperMaxx header system.

My number two plug boot was almost touching the header. I wrapped the plug boot with red muffler tape and secured the tape with thin aircraft ss safety wire. The red tape hardened to a kind of plastic in close proximity
to the header pipe. I believe this helps the boot underneath from being melted.

I have the dynatech's and #2 is touching the header. I haven't seen any wear or melting yet, but I don't plan on leaving it this way.

I just twisted the boot from my MSD wires where it connects to the coil packs to put them at a good distance away from the header.
