Default How close is too close?

Me again with the 01 suburban LS. Rooting around under the suburban and it looks like the y pipe (collector, whatever you call it) has one of the pipes almost touching the transmission pan. Is this normal?

what does "almost" mean? Be specific ... One foot? One inch?
