Why on earth would anybody install one-piece coolant tubes?   I think it 
would be difficult/impossible to make the rear tube support removable, meaning 
you'd still have to remove the engine from the car (or at least raise it up 
substantially) to slide the pipes in and out.

Or, just do what everybody else has done, and use two-piece undercar pipes 
with a short length of hose in between.   Given that this is the common 
solution, why would you consider an enormous engineering undertaking to bypass 
it?

Try this instead:
