Hozer is right on again, the coolant lines help with heating the air on cold-start up AND cool the super heated air when hot, MACH 1!, think about it, yes the car is bone cold upon start-up, but, the second you start the car, the water pump is distributing the warming coolant. And the reason Ford made the one piece Cobra intake/EGR was to eliminate tooling costs.

I've seen holes drilled into opposite sides of the EGR area, tapped, then a 1/4" threaded hose barb TO BOTH SIDES, and coolant lines plumbed into the system. ANYTHING to help cool the air is worth the trouble. KEEP THE LINES CONNECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
