rubber tube next to downpipe
what is it? my friend and i just installed an rsr downpipe on his 07 wrx tr and the rubber tube is resting on his downpipe so whenever it starts to get hot you can smell burning rubber. can we just cut the tube shorter or is there an alternative. thanks

I believe it's the drain hose for the AC system.
What I did is relocate the bracket to the second hole towards the bottom of the car. It moves it enough so that the DP won't touch it. I don't think you'd want to cut that piece.

probably not the best idea to have water standing in a little pool on metal, but it if works for you. I ziptied it to the little area becuase there was a little hole there. worked for me and no rubber smell.
