Default Best Plug Wires with Headers

What are the best plug wires that you guys have found that will not contact headers? My stock plug wires that have the metal heat insulators, hit the headers when I plug them in. I plan on using heat sleeves on the wires themselves but I would still not like them to contact/come close. Does any company make any good angled boot wires?

I use MSD cut to lenth wires. They come with angle boots and straight boots. The straight ones bend some.

just see what angles and lengths you need and have one of the sponsors make some. MSD is an easy choice.

Firecore 50. The MSD stuff has gone down hill big time in the last few years. The boots are not that great and they don't snap on the plugs very well after a few installs.

The Firecore stuff lets you know it is on and the owner will stand behind them if you ever have a problem.
