Yep its integral firesleeved hose. Actually AE246 Aeroquip. Dont know whether its the angle of the picture or not, but I hope it not resting on the the exhaust. Even integral firesleeved hose can be damaged by exhaust heat over time.
Well it's midway between mufflers so I don't know where else I could place it. I've got some heat shield and shield tape coming from summit racing for my cowl, I may wrap some tape around it though.
