Don't do that.
So you need something that is built out of stainless steel, to exchange heat between your exhaust and your coolant?
Exhaust to coolant heat exchangers already exist and they come in lots of different shapes and sizes.

As a exhaust powered coolant heater, for smaller engines.
And what ever else you imagination can come up with.

I have seen a few posts about using cooled EGR or more EGR and trying to find ways to try and reuse waste exhaust heat. Main problem with these ideas was the lack of cheap easy to get parts built for this kind of job.
Now we have the technology
