The colant hose's run throught the TB, the hot colant. So yeah, you have a CAI? Then keeping those hose's just nulled any cold air you might have gotten from the intake.
It works, i did it to my car.

They run coolant through the throttle body to keep the throttle plate from freezing open (mostly in Canadia and Places in the US where it snows).
So if you do the bypass it'll take all that heat away from your throttle body and give you more of a throttle response/lower temp. But if you still live in cooler/colder area where it snows it would be wise to hook it back up to the stock way so your throttle plate doesnt freeze open and you cant stop your car during the winter/cold months. Like if you live in Arizona/Nevada/Some Parts of Cali... you should be fine w/ it off most of the time if not forever.

That's when I did it too lol...right before class. I didn't even splice the two hoses together. I just pulled one of the hoses off and connected the other one to that spot.

Nope, if you live in colder climates (freezing temperature) your TB plate could freeze open and you wont be able to stop.. =)
