ac line help!!!!! i keep burning it!
ok my low pressure hose keeps getting burnt by my headers! i have 1 7/8 kooks and the line is right between the frame rail and header there is no room in between them! surely im not the only one with this prob! is there an aftermarket line that reroutes it along the frame rail?

I was able to slightly bend the AC line to get descent clearance.

Did you all use the double wall thermal tube, the hose and wire wrap or something else on that page?

I used a different brand, but the Silicaflex high temperature tape in the link is very comparable to my DEI "Kool tape".

AC Hose problem
Hi, most good AC specialising shops should be able to make up a longer hose for you that you can reroute.
Good luck

Just bend it slightly to get some separation, and then wrap it
