"16826 P0442 EVAP Emission Contr.Sys.(Small Leak) Leak Detected"
Is the line you're refering to near the spare tire well----this is a common issue especially with aftermarket exhaust....This is simply a vent line for the evaporative emmissions system--There's little to no extra line to allow for a re-route---simply repair the line and correct the hanging of your exhaust...

Default do you have millteck super dual? I wrapped the exhaust with heat wrap and also the line...

Does the line have a hole in it. If so you will first patch up the hole then do the heat cover. good luck tell us what happens. Oh yea, I would do this when exhaust is cool to touch.
