PS 3" ORY is too close to fuel lines?

What have you guys done to help this, i mocked up my ORY pipe & its right at the fuel lines, could i just run a heat shield or wrap?

I don't recall having issues with my ORY and the fuel lines, although they do get somewhat close. Are they actually touching the y-pipe?

That's what I did, just to be safe.

You'll should be okay, but as suggested by Z-RATED94, use some header wrap or heat tape for peace of mind.

I wrapped both that section of pipe and the fuel lines on my old 96 SS. Never had a problem. The LS1 cars have a heat shield from the factory, you could probably make one out of aluminum at the local hardware store. But I would still use heat wrap for peace of mind.
