Default water pipe ?

does anyone know where i can get the pipe in this pic? as far as i know it comes from the heater matrix and splits off at a t section to the throttle body and goes around it to assist cold starting and to stop the butterfly valve from freezing up it then returns to the pipe and goes under the inlet manifold and back down to the water pump. mine has corroded and is leaking. the section that tee,s off to the throttle body is where the throttle body delete mod is done i think? could i just cut back the pipe to sound metal and use rubber hose to make up the connection? i guess i could do the delete as well while im at it? does the delete mess with any sensors on the throttle body and is there any down side to doing it? im guessing the pipe is metal as it runs across the top of the engine block so would using rubber hose be dodgy as if it comes in to contact with the hot block it might melt through? any advice would be great, cheers guys. ps the pic is just to show the pipe, i dont have a twin cam!

Import car parts do the pipe but not sure for which model years. Subaru will obviously be able to sell you one.

If one part of the pipe is corrodes enough to leak I would guess the rest isn't in great condition either so would replace.

Bypass mod has no ill effects. Unless you live in very very cold places.
