Default Fuel lines right over y pipe?

Have a texas speed y pipe with cats for a ls1 going in a 97 camaro the fuel lines land right over the pipe , did the factory ls cars have the fuel and brake lines routed different or the pipe crossed over before the lines,even if I routed the lines they would be 3-4” from the pipe but that would be better than right over it,or loosening a lot of ground clearence. So what is everyone doing?

Brings up the question of "how close is safe for the fuel/exhaust"?

fuel lines/brake lines are routed above part of the y-pipe on My ls car, it is that way from factory. There is also a heat shield that covers those lines all the way up to the ABS control unit.

As mentioned - heat shields are your friend.

Well, "we" don't all have to try and cheat....not required here once the vehicle reaches 35 years old. Actually, a whole bunch of places with no or minimal/limited requirements. It's how I figure out which state to move to. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/a-surpr...e-inspections/
