    It passes coolant round the throttle flap - stops it from freezing open in cold weather. Do you really want to by-pass such a useful safety device?

    We don't have snow here in the philippines and its always hot here. If I by-pass the hoses will it affect anything?

    It won't hurt anything to bypass it.
