2-1/2" or 3-1/4"? Seems kinda short for plug wires.

The length of the heat shield dose not really make that much of a difference other than how easy it is to grab a hold of to remove the boot from the plug. I know you should be using a special tool technically but I'm 45 and still don't own a wire boot tool myself. Either length should be fine.

Growing up I was always told to better to protect your plug... ... I'd go for the larger one....LMAO
