Quick quiz

Whats this metal tube?

It is not connected to either of the rubber hoses. Just kind of looks like it.
No guessing please. Only answer if you know what it is.

Isn't there some sort of mod where you remove that hose in order to keep the throttle body cooler? I remember reading that its only there to defrost the TB under very cold conditions.

OK Thats right I remember now. It is a coolant hose. It was removed to keep the throttle body cooler. I guess they run hot water there to heat the charge for better combustion? Dunno But Thanks guys. For the life of me I could not remember. LOL
