Throttle Body Bypass Kit
Is anyone using this or even heard of it. Sounds like it makes sense but who knows.

I emailed the seller just to see what his response would be.
"There are actually coolant lines running to and from the throttle body. They are being hidden by the air intake, so they are not easily seen. Thanks."
Odd, I have removed my throttle body a couple of times, and also removed the intake when I put the SC on. Never have I seen coolant lines running to and from the throttle body

That is a old 5.0L trick we used to do back in the days. This seller figures for $11.95, that he would post it for more vehicles so he could make a buck. In his listing he says some or many vehicles have coolant running thru the throttle body. Cheap way of making a buck.

Is this as retarded a concept as I think it is? Pumping coolant to the TB to cool the incoming air?
Although I bet the guy gets plenty of sales. We should all go down-rate the vendor for fun...

This is pretty misleading. They are absolutely correct that some vehicles do have a throttle body heater that uses coolant but the 05+ Mustang GT does not have this therefore it does not apply. The seller needs to remove the reference to our cars in his advertising.

Actually our stangs came with a heater type deal. To prevent the throttle body from freezing. I dont know if they stopped one year but i know mine has them and others as well.

There are coolant lines running to the TB on the 2005 V6.
This seller is being misleading since the GT doesn't have it. ONLY THE 2005 V6.
I have a 2005 V6 and it does have casting in the throttle body for coolant to run around it so that in severe cold weather it gets heated so that the butterfly does not stick.
I ran my bypass with a short piece of heater hose before winter and never had a problem with the TB.
I don't think the coolant is needed as all it does is heat the air going into the intake causing power loss.

I was not aware that the V6 cars had this. Certainly on those cars it is worth doing. I'd also like to point out that this mod will not cause any icing problems in the winter as I did this to a previous car I had and drove it through many harsh Canadian winters with no issues whatsover so if you V6 guys want to do this you can go ahead and do it with no concerns about icing in the throttle body.
