Default 16839 - Evap Emission Control Sys: Large leak, I have some questions

So I got this particular code the other day and after some research i found that the hose mentioned in the linked message was touching my exhaust. It looks like it is burned through.

Anyways one thing i can do is get a new hose and put it on, but it is still going to be touching my exhaust. How do I get around this? What has everyone else done to fix this issue?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1082719.phtml">old post</a></li></ul>

try wrapping heat/fire proof tape around the hose, that should fix the issue

Default get your exhaust adjusted by a muffler shop

I WOULD NOT just throw some tape on there and leave it at that.
