no need to reuse them, makes pulling the wires off the next time easier. The stock boots are a cheesy material, feel like rubber not silicone. The MSDs can withstand much higher heat, thus they don't need the shields. I just recently went with the MSD wires, and didn't reuse the shields, and have had no problems yet. Neither have any of my buddies that run MSD's.

I have MSD wires. Took them off because I couldn't get the wires in all the way. Had the springs all F@#k up. So after heads and cam they stayed off and trashed just like the OG heads and LS1 intake.

MSD wires here and I took the shields off...i messed some of them up while taking the stockers off...plus they were UGLY. I haven't had any problems with burning up my MSD's.
