Got BNRs and Air Pump to work

For reference -

Installed my bnrs this past week and the extended y-pipe hits the air output pipe on the air pump. I like the air pump because it eliminates any exhaust smell and keeps the cat in good shape.

I got it to work the old fashion way... A 5lb sledge and a vice clamp . So if you want BNRs and an air pump, do the following -

1) Remove the air outlet pipe from the back of the ap
2) Cut off the tab that bolts it to the ap (you'll likely need to twist the pipe for best fitment)
3) Smartly Flatten the pipe with a vice clamp
4) Test fit and use a hammer to get the curvature right (took 5-10 test fits for me)
5) JB weld the pipe back in after carefully test fitting it. I installed the ap with the jb weld still wet so I could maneuver the pipe to fit perfectly.

It's not pretty, but it works. I guess the only point of this thread is to show it can be done.

Hey a side question. Wrapping your a.c. line with insulators is a good idea ? Dose it keep the high pressure line in check ? I have a theory that the reason why I keep blowing my pressure relief valve and ac dumpling Freon out of there is because my pressure is super high. Condenser gets nuked and the fans are not pulling the heat good enough.

I don't know to be honest. I just wrapped it because it made no sense to me to have that line going through that heat unprotected.
