Do you really have to ask this? It's up to you..do you want the heat protection or not?

Use the factory ones at least, I have Lg's as well and there is < 1/16th of clearance on the number 1&2 plug wires and the primaries.

Seriously? No typing in caps, no rant...and my response is still perceived as "upset"?
If you carefully position your hand in between header pipes (while the engine is running), your hand will not melt either......but.....given enough time.....the heat will cook your hand.
