Spark plug wire; metal shield around boot... Whats the popular opinion for putting these on after market wire boots? I re-used mine when I installed my G2 wires but my dad just got some MSD wires that have raised letters on the boot that will create a "fit" problem with the metal shield.

You can get some better quality and better fitment ones from advance. They are made out of fire retardent material and withstand up to 600* I think. Thats what I used, they were 15 bucks for a pair
mine went on as well with MSD wires...might have been a bit more of a pain to get them on the plug all the way but car is running fine and I dont have to worry about melting a spark plug wire.

I dont use any on my msd's and they are fine after about 10k miles. Although, i recently installed headers and one of my wires rests on the egr hookup/tube that is blocked off. Does that part of the header get as hot as the actuall tubes?
