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.

The problem with using the EGR cooler to heat coolant as it is normally intended is that I'm programming out the EGR all together to avoid having to clean out the intake. This is crucial considering I'll be running a an after cooler inside of the intake manifold which would clog easily if I were going to keep the EGR. I don't think that I would be able to get enough exhaust flow anywhere else without somehow sacrificing flow… maybe if I ran the exhaust all the way to the back and had a 1" pipe break off at the dowpipe just to go through the EGR cooler and dump under the car. Unfortunately, I was planning 4motion and just a dumped down pipe for clearance. I figured the coil would be the best way to extract the heat but it is something I would reconsider if a better option comes up.
