Raised Transmission Crossmember (for exhaust)

[Accelo]

I purchased on of the Raised Transmission cross-members. It is designed so you can tuck the exhaust up into the frame. My truck was a manual and I needed a cross-member anyway so I purchased one from FleaBay.
In general, I was happy with it. It is overbuilt compared to a stock one.
I thought it would have been nice if the manufacture would have drilled the part that attaches to the frame with the stock bolt hole centers. Still a nice piece for the money.

Now for my dilemma, I installed the emergency brake cables and they run right through the raised area where the exhaust should be.
Every-time I deviate from stock there are compromises to make or $ to spend.

I can run the exhaust in the lower stock position. (My truck isn't low enough that it matters).
I can attempt to reroute the emergency brake cables.
I can run the exhaust and let the cables rest on the exhaust piping.
All ideas are appreciated.
