I just installed this oil cooler. While I guess you can use the BRZ's heater hose with the Forester's pipe, I wasn't happy with the kink in the hose so I went to the parts store and got a heater hose with a 90 degree bend. Carquest/Dayco Part #: 19590336. I cut off one of the bends and had a 90 degree with a straight hose which worked.
I also decided to use the Forester's coolant pipe that bolts to the driver's valve cover. It was a PAIN to bolt on. I had to pop out the cam actuator harness ties which was tricky(they were anchored where the bolts thread in), then getting the upper bolt in was a nightmare. Also, the pipe was pointing straight up into the injector cover. I used a 1/4" drive extension and bent it out. I can see why Carnz's guide just had you use a long hose. I just didn't want to sling a heater hose down the side of my engine, so I went to painful route.
