You can slightly bend the ac line out of the way, but i would heat wrap the downpipe. You might also think about making a tighter radius down pipe so it is further away from the ac.

so how do you know ?....


and i am planing a new down pipe seeing how this one is very ugly and choped and hacked together i had to put a new flex pipe and get the welds patched just so i could go back in forth to work, im wondering the best kind of wrap to use i found a nice deal on ebay for 2000 degree wrap for like 20$ should i wrap the down pipe and ac line just to be safe?

how i got car!!!!!!
