Put them back on - whats the problem
When I did plugs and wires I got the red ones from Gene. The metal cans fit perfectly just like on the black wires. Put them back on and be done with it.

I did MSD wires and kept them on, They are a little loose since the boot is not designed for the shells. It will prolong the life of the boots slightly if you keep them, but I doubt it's much difference. I actually also slipped the shells into the Taylor fiberglass socks for double resistance from the turbo manifolds. Just food for thought.

The engineers at GM went through the trouble of including the shields in the design of the C5 Corvette for a reason. Use the shields.
