Default I need spark plug wires for headers!?!?

I just installed OBX lt's, and my msd wires worked. Until the terminals broke anyways! They were a brand new set, with the bendable boots. They were put on 2-3 months ago, and I've only pulled them off 1 time, and that was to install the headers. So yesterday I had to pull off the back 2 drivers side wires. I pulled the front one, and the terminal stayed on the spark plug! So, now I'm frustrated. Then I grab the back one, and what do ya know? It broke too! So I call msd to ask them to replace the wires. I sit on hold for 2 hrs. until I decide to hang up. So, needless to say I'll never own another set of msd wires again.

Now that my rant is over with! I still need a set of spark plug wires that are about 1-2 inches longer than the msd's. I want red in color, but could settle for black if need be. I would like the bendable boots, as some of mine were very close until i bent them, but after my experience with the msd's, I'm almost scared to try another set. Do you guys have any suggestions? Should I just buy a universal kit and custom cut/fit them to my truck? I had the msd's going around the outside of the "hump" primary, and they cleared by about 1/8"-1/4". So that's why I want something about 1" longer.

GMCtrk, looks like you have a missing bolt on the rear header flange in case you didn't already know it. Headers/wires look good!
