Stillen has it in their installation instructions.

Someone missed a step.

Step 12

ah yes, it does tell you may have to use hose line to wrap the ac line...

I missed that step as well. Time to take the front bumper off again...

Guility as sin.

Also missed it as I couldn't figure out what they were talking about and the "may have to" part isn't real strong. Think if it was me, I'd take another picture making it clearer and include a piece of hose with the intake. Appears quite a few people missed it somehow.

Yup...Clearly Installer error. No point in blaming Stillen here..

I wasn't really trying to blame Stillen so much as I was trying to make this aware to others that might have this problem in the future. I guess I did overlook the part where it says to cover the AC line, but when you install it, it initially it doesnt seem like your going to run into problems. It took several months and miles of vibrations for it to move into a problematic position.

Thanks Kannibul, for clearing it up for everyone that's had it done they can adress it before it's an issue and for folks like me ready to pull the trigger on it don't skip step 12 lesson learned got it.
