Arrow Plug wire management with headers???

I'm trying to find the best way to setup my plug wires so they don't burn on my headers. Yet still look nice.

Right now I'm running MSD wires with the stock metal covers plus a little thermal tape. Now for the wires that run close to the headers I have them zip tied, but the problem is it looks like crap.

Is there a company that makes plug wires for the ls1 that have 90* boots for the plugs???

just bend the boot on the msd wires away from the headers and they will stay.

I have msd plugs and they are sitting fairly close to the headers, I dont think any are touching, but they havent burned at all.

The MSD SC plug wire boots are bendable (but go gentle when bending).

The MSD 8.8 wires I have are straight at the plug side. The elbow is at the coil, with no issues during install, anyways the are heat resitant. The plug side was somewhat flexible but nowhere near my pacesetters. What kind of MSD wires are you talking about?

We offer something new that helps out. Covers the entire wire and the boots and comes with matching shrink wrap (does not iclude wires):
