Default Throttle Body Bypass Pictures?

Purchased 2000 C5 H.T. approx 2 months ago and loving it! On previously owned C4 T.B. bypass was very simple to figure out visually. Recently ordered HALLTECH STINGER and thought that this would be a good time for T.B. BYPASS. ( hate to admit) After looking at C5 T.B. NOT SURE HOSES TO BYPASS? Any picture or advice?

Advice?????

Don't waste your time !!! any air flowing through the TB is only there a millisecond, and even if the throttle body was cold, you could not effect one degree of ambient temperature in that millisecond. That's the reason the car runs better in the winter time... the cold dense ambient temperature is not effected by the TB.
