I am tempted to leave the damn things off the new wires. Is there a good reason to reuse them? Thanks

I don't think anyone puts them back on after they pull the stock wires off. Just chunk them.

Good. They just went in the trash can. Thanks

Reused mine with my MSD's figured they helped with heat a little or else they would not be there.

I used mine over on my MSD wires for #8 it gets really really hot back there so I figured a little extra sheilding wont hurt. no one can see it anyhow

I reused mine for my GMPP wires.

They're definitely there for a reason, at least on some of the plugs.

a lot of people use them for msd wire because most but not all hit the header. As long as the wire is not directly up against the header you should be able to do without them.

The MSD wires shouldnt hit cause they can be bent out of the way. 1 or 2 of mine were hitting till I bent them out of the way a little.

My first set of MSD's cooked on the header. Didnt read the box enough to figure out they could be bent. My second set I bent 2 that touched a have an easy 1/4 inch at the closest. thats plug boot to header. Thats plenty of room. I had a misfire in cyl 6 which the plug boot was fine. My #4 was cooked but didnt miss. And my misfire only showed up when I mistakingly put the pass side o2 sim in the primary spot.

No! I have them off my car and i have done about 20 header installs and we didnt put them on then with No problems

I reused them for that "just incase" purpose. They didnt make the install that much worse, you just have to guess more and listen when putting them back on to make sure the wires are on all the way.

As you can see, where they are placed, they offer no insulating value to the plug boot. The boot is still exposed where it is closest to the header primary. I tried them on my MSD's and got rid of them because they were useless.

I use them cause they were there from the factory.

I use mine still. ANY protection I can get to save my expensive plug wires is OK with me.

Polished them when I did the rocker covers and exhaust heat shields.

i use them because it makes it easier to grab and pull the wire off.
