With water in it the temp will never get hot enough to melt solder. I've
seen copper ones before and they seem to have worked fine.

I cleaned mine off the other day, and it was in OK shape. But I was

of just making one out of copper pipe and bending it at one end with a

close to
the same shape as an original.
My question is, how hot does it get above the exhaust manifold where this
would be? This idea would only work if it didn't get too hot to melt the
solder.
