Default Intercooler mounting in 2001 GSR

I have an air conditioning hard line that is right in the way of where I will mounting my intercooler. It's bends right under the front bumper support. Has anyone had to deal with this issue on a GSR? I'm not sure if it is safe to cut this pipe somehow and re-attach it differently or what. Here is a pic to show what I am talking about:



Any ideas?

You can probably bend it out of the way, just don't kink the line. Also look forand hold downs you might be able to un-bolt to make it easier to re-position the line.

Yea I thought about bending it a little. I looked at it yesterday and it's pretty solid, but I'll check again. I just don't want it to be jabbing into the back of my intercooler making dents and jacking up the fins and stuff.

Move it behind the power steering cooler. Unbolt the steering cooler and move it down below the ac line and back up on the other side, then just bend the ac line a bit. It's aluminum and bends easily. Works like a charm.

Excellent, thanks! I'll try to post a pic of how it turns out in a couple weeks
