I can only imagine doing this if it was in the truck! So I'm faced with a dilemma. I have a lot of "bling" on top, and I just picked up the wires. I would really like to show off both. Different headers are not out of the question, nor is different wiring, considering I haven't cut any wires yet. Any input is well received!...
Looks like you need to switch to the "shortie" spark plugs, then take a look if you need to have some of the boots be 45 deg or straight. In addition maybe add some of the boot insulators. They protect the boots, but may not show off the wires like you want. Or change your headers.
