So I searched around awhile and found virtually nothing on relocating the coolant pipe that runs above the intake manifold. There was a small thread from [email protected] who said they were fabricating a kit from 2010 but that was all I found.

The obvious flaw with the stock location is that pipe needs to be removed in order to remove the intake manifold. This is a PITA. The stock location wouldn't be all that bad if the coolant pipe did not have the brancing line that runs right between two of the intake manifold runners to the thermostat housing.

I am interested to see what other people have done, whether it is complete relocation of the pipe or routing adjustments. What are your ideas? What have you done?
