Does it make a difference? Not anything you can feel. Maybe it keeps the air coming in a few degrees cooler, but I don't think it makes any difference.
I did do it - bought two hose clamps and a hose fitting from Home Depot for about $4.

And the throttle body by pass is a good mod if you do any future work on the intake system. (And you will)
