headers touching brake lines

i just put my headers on, they are hedman shorties, the header on the drivers side touches a little bit of the brake line coming out of the MC, the brake lines have another piece of metal wrapped around them probably for heat dissapation but its like theres a spring around the lines kinda.. will this matter?

What he said. You can bend them quite a bit, try not to kink them though. I had to really massage mine for my SLP 1 3/4" shorties.

I have the same problem, only I have lame flowtech headers with no heat insulation. If you wait long enough, as I did, the brake fluid will get too hot and you have some funky braking. My stupid line keeps moving back closer to the header though everytime I bend it, not next time though.
