Default 135* spark plug boots w/ stock coil location

What company makes a quality spark plug that is high temp resistant and has a ~135* boot (I can't use a straight boot like the OEM setup because it bangs into my header tube) that the wires will reach the coilpacks in the stock location?

I give up searching - everybody has complaints about MSD/Taylor/Accel and every brand i can find. Plus some of the comments on the Accel is like 'wires too short and spark plug pops out of socket'. LOL??

Well I run the taylor thundervolt 50 series. 135° boots. On my g8 with headers. Great wires. But 4 of them out of 8. Touch the header on the boot part. I have the header wrapped on the touching sections. and the 4 wires have the heat boot sleeves on them. If you have headers are you sure you don't want the 90 degree boots. I should have went that route.

the boot clears the header fine, it's just that with a straight shoot up the plug wire touches the header. I can pull it out the way, but no real good way to keep it pulled out of the way. So if I could get the wire going 90* or 135* as soon as it leaves the boot I'd be golden

I also bought Taylor Thundervolts. Seem like really nice wires. I have the 135 degree wires, but it seems like the boot is a bit short. The top of the boot actually hits the header bolt. If they were about 1/2" longer, they would be flawless. I got them to work though.

Straight boots smacked right into my header and burned 2 wires.
