Rubber Hose By Downpipe?

STI 2 NV · 05-30-2004, 07:14 PM

Ok, I installed my Helix dp today and there is a black hose that comes out of the firewall that touches the dp. What is this hose and where should I reroute it so it doesn't touch the dp. I'm guessing it will melt if it is left touching the dp. Thanks for the help.

That is the A/C drain hose. I cut mine off because the hose got melted to hell.

You can relocated the plastic clamp (holding the hose) down and the the right in another hole. Hard to see so feel around.

Thats just a drain line. And yes it will melt(oopps

) There is another hole just to the right of it that it will fit in. http://www.turboxs.com/WRX%20Exhaust%20Installation.htm
