Installed Pacesetters and TSP Cat Y - Have a problem

After installing my Pacesetter headers and Texas Speed Catted Y pipe, my buddy noticed that the Y pipe is pretty close to the brake lines that go along on the driver side. We really didn't see an easy way to get more room between the Y and the brake lines. Is this the way that the Y is designed to be or does anyone have suggestions for trying to get more room between the Y and brake lines? Thanks.

if your concerned about the heat wrap the pipe and put some heat shielding wrap on the brake lines.

but i wouldnt be worried about it, brake temps at the caliper far exceed any radiant heat from the exhaust.

If you look at the bracket where the lines are it is possible to "flip" them up slightly. Thats what everyone does. I've had mine on for 4+ years and never had a problem.
