Question My Pacesetter y pipe is touching one of the brake lines

The Pacesetter y-pipe I installed is touching what I believe is a brake line. It is the one with the coil wrapped around it, right behind the drivers side header and brace.

I'm going to assume this is bad. Has anyone successfully fixed this without redoing the exhaust?

I welded in a makeshift heat shield using some sheet steel.

If it is the rear brake line you can do some bending and reposition it. I did this on mine with no problems at all. Also there is a screw down mount that can be moved.

That's the one with the coil around it?
