I have a set of 1 3/4" SLP headers and I'm a little worried about how close they are to the brake lines.

Anything you guys do to protect the brake lines from getting too hot, or as long as it's not touching, is there nothing to worry about?

 

I wouldn't worry about it. I thought about it too when I put mine on. All I did was move them a little and have not touched them in years. The brakes work just fine so don't sweat it.

Unless somebody has a horror story about them getting hot and causing and accident. Never heard of it though.

 

I didn't think so, but stopping is kinda important sometimes so I thought I'd better ask!

 

I did the same as CraZ-28.

But...

Ceramic coated headers and/or insulating sleeving around the brake line would reduce the heat transfer.

 

i wouldn't worry about em, brake fluid boils and a very high temp (temp depends on the fluid). but if you're still worried about it, i would move them a little bit or wrap them with a high heat material.

 

Just carefully move them out of the way, as long as they're not touching they should be ok.. mine have been fine for a few years.
