I need advice please!!!

I'm getting exhaust on my 02 f150 supercab tomorrow, I'm planning on si/do flowmaster original 40 series. Well I was looking at my truck and noticed a rubber brake line looping up from the axle near the spare tire. Do you think this will cause a problem? If it does does anybody have any suggestions on how I should do my exhaust. Just piping, I am getting the flowmaster. I also have the tow package with the receiver hitch.

Thanks

Nevermind it isn't a brake line. It's a rubber hose, not sure if it's hollow, that goes from the axle to the bottom of the bed. Does anybody know what this is?

Point it out to the muffler shop and I am sure they have worked around them before.

It's a breather tube for the axle, it is run up to the bed to keep water out of the axle!!

Thanks. Will it hurt if it gets close to the exhaust? There isn't much room there.

It should not hurt it to get kinda close, but if it lays on the pipes then it is gonna melt a hole in it. If for some reson their is not enough room you can relocate the breather tube!!
