That's the condenser hot line I think. The vibration will scratch up your intake. Metal on metal contact is not a good idea.

Why take them off? Just put a couple strips of double sided take at the contact point. Have you driven with the diy?any thoughts?

I positioned the intske so it wasn't touching and then zip tied it using a large zip tie going underneath the box.

I would try to re-position that OP, this pipe will get very hot ...

why not get the Spectre heatshield and dump the oem box ... honestly it is much better.
