Spark plug wire heat sleves
What is the intended importance of these items, is the heat protection snake oil or truly beneficial?

Beneficial if you have headers. If not, it's just piece of mind and possibly dress up, if you get color matching ones. Headers stick out a bit further than the OEM cast manifolds so there's more of a chance for the wires to touch them.

I agree, for headers. I would not use them otherwise. I have a set on my Vette and on my El Camino, both have headers... but too, they also look real good (they're both show cars). Stock exhaust on my Camaro, so won't be adding them.

Or turbos. They (the stock manifolds) melted boots and even burnt through a DEI sleeve because of proximity
