The area between the inner fender panel and the foot box is the area that caught on fire. The hose melted from the heat and then dropped on the headers and started burning.

You guy's are welcome to do what you want with your vehicles, but when others try and help out with experience, you might want to listen to them as they have had that happen to them or they would not be telling you.




In this area the only concern from the heat is the 1200*degree brake rotors and these hoses work just fine. But when the hose goes thru the inner fender panel heat is an issue and cheap plastic dryer hose is just not acceptable.
