Default Spark plug boot question

I was just wondering if I go with equal length headers (BBK) what angle boots do I need. Right now I have the straight ones. So if I get these do I need the 45* or 90* ones or any other *?

i have the 45* or looks more like 135* but whatever... I had to zip tie em to keep em off the headers, not sure 90* ones would be any better tho looks like they might hit the headers if i had em....

So the straight boots will not work then for equal length headers? Which one is it 45* or 135*?

I have equal length headers and I have a melt-proof and fireproof fabric boot that covers from the plug to about 6 inches up the wire. My wires can rest on the headers with no problems. Not sure where to get them because they were on the car when i bought it. Oh, and 135* is the same thing as 45* in relation to the wire itself.
