Default True dual exhaust heat?

I just fabbed up my custom true dual exhaust. I ran 3 inch pipe, X-pipe, and Dynomax bullets. I have exhaust tucked very close to fuel line and brake lines. Should I wrap lines with some kind of heat wrap, or should will they be all right? I just dont want to burn my car to the ground.

Nope. You should unbolt the brackets and flip the lines.

Flip the lines on the brackets, and you can gain an easy 4 inches.

There are two brackets inside the driveshaft tunnel holding the fuel lines in place. You can remove these brackets, turn them upside down, and stick the lines back in. It's easy as **** once you see it, but it does help to have a buddy hold them in place while you screw the brackets back in.

There shouldn't be any problems because all you are doing is moving the lines over...
