Default MSD plug wires

I recently installed headers on my LQ4 and cannot use the straight boot factory plug wires anymore.

It appears Summit sells two different plug wire sets, one for ls1/ ls6 and one for 5.3/ 6.0. What is the difference??

I heard these come in straight boot, but you can bend them to 45 or 90 degree angles to clear headers, is this true?

Anyother recommendations?

Thanks

Yeah, those have the multi angle boot, meaning you can bend them to any angle you want. That is what I am using to clear my headers, work great.

I have no idea what the difference is between the two listings.

I believe the truck one are a little longer if I remember right the trucks are somewhere around 10" and the cars are around 9".

Huh that is odd, they are basically the same design. Anyone use the car plug wires on a truck motor?

That's kinda what I thought. And it doesn't seem like enough difference to really make a difference.
