Ypipe can't clear tranny lines

I finally got my headers on, and I'm working on the ypipe and catback now...

I did a test fit to the y-pipe... It lines up almost perfect with the headers... whew. My only problem is the tranny lines are hitting the exhaust.

I'm not sure if/how I can bend them out of the way.

Any ideas? They need to go up more towards the tranny (700R4).

Thanks

Nope. I've had summit shorties, SLP tri-y's - (wish I had kept those for another project), hooker shorties & y-pipe, and now my Hooker LT's. None of them had interference problems with the tranny cooler lines.

You should be able to bend them slightly. Just go slow and don't get crazy with it. Then I would heat wrap them with something that can withstand exhaust temps. No sense in heating up the transmission fluid anymore.

My ypipe is a custom job - thats why mine has problems.
