k so i finally put my downpipe on yesterday (megan racing) and i love the way it sounds but after going for a ddrive around the block my dad n i noticed a strange burning smell. we popped the hood n there was some very little smoke but smelled bad. i figured it was justs from all the PB blaster i used but then my dad noticed the downpipe is touching some rubber hose that sticks out of the cars frame. the other end of the hose is just open (i think he said it's to let out the water or something like from the heater or something) n this rubber hose is making contact with the DP and it's burning. SO WHAT DO I DO?!?!!?!

...Or you can just cut it about an inch from the firewall, if you cut it too short and the hose slips into the cabin it will leak water down the inside of the firewall and make your carpet wet.
