Default MSD plug wires hit SLP headers

These seem to be pretty popular wires. So purchased a set and when I put them on the plug boot touches the SLP header. I only put one on and stopped when I saw it hitting the header. Anyone else had this occur?

The MSD wires have formable plug connectors, so you can bend the boot out of the way. I had the same thing happen on my headers, until I just moved the plug boot away from the pipe. Everything's worked well since I installed them.

MSD's go great with most headers because you can adjust them to be out of the way. Just for kicks I reshaped them and angled them so they'd all look uniform, though it only really shows on the drivers side, but it's one of those neat touches you can do to show pride in your work.
