Problem intalling single, help please.

Well i went to put my to4 on my manifold and it didnt fit. There is a hard pipe conected to ruber tubing that runs along the passenger side frame rail thats hitting the compressor side and not allowing it to mount up. I belive it is just to the heater core but not sure. it runs into the fire wall. What have some of you guys done to fix that problem? I was thinking about getting some splicers and some more coolant hose and re-routing it but im not sure where would be a good place so it doesnt get burned. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Same problem here. I removed mine and replaced it with a long length of rubber hose and re-rounted it. Be sure it doesn't rub on anything.

I flipped the pipe around and upside down and used a small piece of metal to mount the tab (on the pipe) to an extra nut on the body. It changed the position of the pipe to fit much better with the single.
