Here is a cool new source to protect your spark plug wires when running headers:
Everyone Ready:
1998 and up Chevy Impala with the 3.8L v-6
On each of the plug wires there is a metal heat shield that just slips over the ends of the spark plug wire. They are super easy to remove and work awesome
And before anyone else does it:

Are these the shields you are talking about? These are on my 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix.

Yup, those are them.
Those are super cool to stop from burnout after laying down on hot headers.

I like it! Thanks for the idea.

Yup, I am hitting the Pick n Pull yard on Tuesday to get all that I can.

The sun just came out so I think I will take a ride out to pick and pull now.

Went out to pic n pull and grabbed some heat shields. I found them on Old, Chevy and Pontiac. They are lined with an insulator also.

I used some Mothers on one to see how they clean up, hey not to bad.

I have 90 degree boots on mine at the moment that I keep meaning to change so I can't show you an installation right now but here are the parts.
