Its a pretty good chance without the heatsheild, they will melt the boots..

Maybe try some header wrap for now?

your wires will only burn up if they actually make contact with the header, like any other wire. Wires can come close to the headers and be fine.
ALthough, If you have the Stock wires still, purchase some good after market wires like MSD, because there will be more heat down and i think the stock wires are weak.
you might also change plugs as well.
