Got Series 50 Flowmaster Installed

I got dual exhauist with a Flowmaster series 50 SUV muffler installed Friday. Had them run stock diameter pipes exiting on either side of rear wheels with slash cut chrome tips. It looks great and sounds even better. I have one question. Has anyone else noticed how close the flexible rubber brake lines are to the drivers side exhaust pipe when duals are run? There is clearance
but it looks like if the suspension was severely loaded down the hoses could contact the exhaust pipe. I was thinking of installing longer sst braided brake lines to allow more clearance when the suspension is compressed.
Has anyone else done this? Is there a kit available? If making up new lines, what size fitting is on that line? 10MM?

Firecrew,

I know you had a TRD exhaust a while back. Do you remember what size the piping was on the 2 tailpipes?

I believe it is a industry standard to use 2 1/2 pipes on aftermarket duals, at least they looked like 2.5s.

I think they might actually be 2 3/4", the same as the single factory tailpipe, but I'm not sure. I was wondering why the TRD Exhaust would have the large tailpipes instead of the 2 1/8" piping as was used up front so it wouldn't hurt low end power.
