Default Cats and Fuel lines

I know that the cats get really hot. But will it be alright to put the driver's side cat right on the header collector where the fuel lines are an inch or so above them running on the floorboard? The stock heatshields will be inplace too. Will it be safe?

The stock cats are right off the manifolds.

I was referring to the heat sheilds that are on the floor board where most aftermarket Ypipes have clearance issues. The area where the stock manifolds were, is completely taken up by the Long Tube headers ... so i'm talking about areas where GM didn't intend catalytic converters to be.

Guess the true test would be to monitor the floorboard temps.

guess so. i think my first catted Ypipe w/ headers ran the cats close the fuel lines w/o heatsheilds. but those cats were carsounds and had their own heat sheilds. The cats i'm runnin in this setup are the RT 7000 bullet series. Oh well ... guess i'll just have to keep an eye on everything after they're on
