Need help locating this coolant tube

So I would like to buy a replacement coolant tube for my iroc. This part is located on the passenger side rail. I have not been able to find it and I'd like to get a new one rather than a used one if I can avoid it. If anyone has any info on this piece, I'd appreciate it. Thanks

Will

Re: Need help locating this coolant tube

You have a couple options, local I would try NAPA. When Auto Zone, Advance, and O'riley's don't seem to even know what parts like that are, NAPA has them or can order them.
If they don't have one or can't get one, you may try something like Hawks, Year One, I think Classic Industries has 3 gen parts too, but don't quote me on that one.
If you can find one, and you have a welder you can get a piece of aluminum or brass tube and bend it to that shape, and weld/braze the t in, or see if someone can make one for you.
Or you can go with a rubber hose to and move it away from you headers some.

Re: Need help locating this coolant tube

I havent seen one available new. If you find it anywhere new, it will be the dealer if they can still get it. Your best bet is the junkyard or ebay if you want a spare or replacement. They can still be found in great condition.

Re: Need help locating this coolant tube

This is all greatly appreciated fellas. I have removed my AC from the car and that diagram helps a lot. I think I will most likely just run some lines similar to the non-ac setup and see how that functions. Again, thanks much

i got a stupid question, if you do the Throttle body coolant bypass you just run a line from the firewall to the lower intake manifold right?
