Default Spark Plug wires, longer

I posted this on my build, but maybe Im in the wrong place. I need to change the wires on my LQ4, with turbo, and manifolds turned up facing forward. I cant find a post where a guy said he used S10 wires, can anyone tell me what wires I can get that are longer with 90 elbows on both ends?

Just long enough to go around the manifolds, instead of thru them.

Doesn't summit sell universal wires that you make the length you want for LS motors?

I thought the plug wires were supposed to be as short as possible?

I think I saw somewhere someone mounting them under these exhausts.

I've seen pics of the coils mounted on the firewall, and those wires have gotta be 3 times as long as I'm gonna have mine.
