    Hey, im doing a heater core bypass and was wondering if anyone could tell me where to get a pipe that is perfect for this? found an ea falcon pipe part number in tech section but they either gave me the wrong pipe or it is no good because that one kinks when i try and use after cutting to the right size.

    Use any heater hose, straight or with bend, doesn't matter as no flow is required.

    You can definitely just block both ends? No flow is actually needed?

    I have heard people say both yes and no. I'm looking at clean ways of permanently deleting the heater core.

    Excellent, I thought I could, just wanted to make sure.

    So much pipe work on the back of the engine you can throw out once the heater core is gone.

    I cut mine down and welded on a blanking cap ... no problems at all, that I know about.
    About as tiny as you can get ... can't see anything when the engine is in and is 100% reliable unless the heat pipes rust out.

    P.S On 2nd thought, if an n/a you could make up blank flanges and remove the heater pipes all together.
