Do I need different plug wires when I replace my headers? . 12 LS3

Not at all, but I would certainly get a set of those spark pug wire heat shields.
Tip ... Put on a set of rubber gloves when installing or you will be itching for the rest of the day from the fiberglass.

C6 of Year Finalist (performance mods) 2019
I removed the coil/fuel rail covers in early '08 to avoid excessive heat buildup. I also removed the rubber hood seal at the cowl for the same reason. Better engine compartment airflow improves parts performance and longevity.

You have a choice between appearance and performance when making mods. While some performance mods may look better than OEM, you are still choosing performance as the priority.

I have the taylor thundervolt wires, they came w/ thermal socks. No issues with them breaking down etc. Stock wires fell apart due to the heat (they didnt touch... the heat from the longtubes just made them brittle)
