A lot of Subaru converters are using copper pipe to re-route coolant lines inside the engine bay. Others are taking a more expensive route ($10/foot) and are using marine exhaust hose. Granted, this is a special application. I'll be using copper when my subaru engine goes in in just a few days. None of these converters (that I know of) have experienced any problems as long as their coolant is up to snuff. But, if you van get original steel replacement, why not use them? |
