the coolant is there for some reason, bypassing it wouldn't be a good idea. just my .02.

We here in Cali wouldn't really have to worry about that. It's only been as cold as 30 degrees out here.

I highly recommend this mod for ayone in CA. Thanks
Here is my DIY on the subject...

what kind of extension did you use? i thought that intakes were tuned for the cars and already had the best gains they could get with what they had to work with.

also....you can wrap the intake in the exhaut heat shield wrap if you are that concerned with it sucking in hot air. (worked great for me)
the coolant gets hot after a while which in return heats up the tb and intake manifold, which in return heats up the air your sucking in. by bypassin the coolant your throttle body and manifold dont get as hot, so the air your sucking in stays cooler. less heat more power.
