Default DP heat blew up my ac line

Towing the car to the track it blew up the ac line and it pissed all over. Can I order a gm line thats a couple inches longer? Or am I stuck getting a custom one made?

Dp was wrapped and the ac line was wrapped in the heat protector sleeve that comes in the trick kit.

Might be me but this was the first time I drove it w out the ac on. Maybe that was enough to pop it

Get a custom one made. It'll likely be cheaper than GM anyway. I think mine was like $75, including having the AC shop make it.

Get a custom one, get it routed away from the DP and turbo flange. Then wrap it up. Mine blew up the first time I drove it with turbo on lol

Where did the line burst?

I have everything wrapped, even after a long drive I can grab the AC line without getting burnt. The wrap works very well to reduce radiant heat.
