Default truck manifolds(power steering lines)

hey guess ill finally be starting up my car this friday but i have 1 issue that i think im gonna run into.

the power steering lines are right on my crossover ive tried to bend them as much as possible but feels if i bend them more ill break them.

sooo what are you truck manifold ppl doing? wrapping them?

any pics of how close your guys lines are to the crossover

thanks

i was able to bend mine. it was really tight though. i thought about ditching the ps then but i am glad i didnt. i didnt wrap them either, seems to be doing fine. its only been a couple of weeks though.

I bent and turned mine away as well. I even wrapped them and it still caught fire when it melted. I would save yourself the trouble and do them with Sb lines.
