Lt headers and fuel line. How close is yours?

I swapped in a set of LT hedman headers with s-tubes. The exhaust seems to be 1 - 1/12 inches away from the fuel lines at the closest point. Could this cause a problem?

I ran the drivers side pipe under the trans crossmember to the pass side, then the two 2 1/2 in pipes follow the driveshaft to the rear. I have two dynomax bullit mufflers with turndowns just before the rear.

Should I install a heat shield on the stock fuel line? How close is everyones headers to the fuel line?

while a heat shield or sleave will never hurt, 1.5" is fine...
even more so if you have a return style fuel system.

Yeah, I am running the stock fuel lines with the return. How close would be too close? I was just guessing on the distance. Might even be 3/4 inch.

thanks
