Default Copper Tube Plumbing

Can anyone explain the intent of this copper tube at front of plenum? Home Depot performance modification?

Throttle body coolant bypass modification.

Best option is to bypass the entire upper plenum.

YW.

That is not how the bypass is suppose to look. Should be a lot cleaner with the coolant lines blocked off at the plenum.

Genius! Wonder if matching coat hanger was used for the exhaust.

I don?t know. The addition of copper tubing adds a bit of bling to the engine. Maybe you need to add a bit more. Could be a new trend.
