Default headers, and plug wires

What do you guys use for insulation for the plug wires when you have lt headers.

They look the same....

FWIW, I have StainlessWorks LT's and MSD wires with no extra insulators and I have no problems.

I got the OBX lts, and they have the wierd hump on the drivers side. I ordered the ones I posted, but I won't need them all, so maybe I will just double a couple of them up on the ones I need them on.

My Dynatechs have the hump also, but I figured out how to use the angle of the plug boot to flex the wire where there's at least 1/4" clearance.
