It works. But its one of those every little bit helps mods. If you dont live in sub zero conditions go for it.

I never even knew this modification existed until my friend showed it to me on ebay, seemed like a gimmick to me.

Hi

A piece of 5/16" metal brake tubing works well. It fits into the radiator side hose perfectly, but is a bit of a tight fit into the short hose on the block. You can also get some vacuum caps from the local auto store to cover the barb ports on the throttle body.
Thanks JA
