Cyl #7 Taylor plug wire and TPIS headers
I just endured the #7 plug change and had a quick question. It seems like the plug wire is VERY close to the header tube (less than 1cm) is this normal/to be expected/safe? They are taylor pro 8mm spiro's if this helps any. What did you do?

Buy the Koolsox for the wires. Cheap insurance to avoid buring a wire :cheers:

On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the most ghetto, how would you rank just putting one on the #7 cylinder? :D I got the drivers side done tonight and I'm gonna do the easier passenger side tomorrow. Then I guess I'll figure out how many of these protectors I need.
Are there any that would be okay with touching the header? I think if I put anything over the boot it will definately contact.

Welllllllllllllllllllllllllllll......... ......If you show the car and it's important to you, people WILL notice. If you're concerned about performance...or lack of from a burnt wire I would put them ALL on....but that's just me. They are all pretty close and to me I didn;t want to risk burning ANY wires.
