Those look like the same headers I am using.

I bought the MSD wires with adjustable boots. These will clear anything

One more for the MSD wires. You can bend the boot in any direction.

I would avoid taylor wires. I had 2 sets and with both of them the boots would come off way too easy.

I had a gift card from summit so I used it to get a set of the Granetalli heat wrapped wires. I am very impressed by the quality. I don't know that I would have bought them on my own at the $210 price, but very nice.
