03 z06. I was removing the tb today to clean and noticed there is nothing attached here, I believe there is where the coolant hose is supposed to be but it looks like its routed around to the other side of the tb and connected. Whats up with this??
Factory setup ran coolant through the TB to heat it to help eliminate icing in colder winter climates. Many bypass that and avoid the little bit less heat in the TB from the hot coolant. I put a piece of rubber tube on the metal nipple and stuck a small bolt in the tube to keep insects out on my bypass.

Had those on mine for a couple years until the rubber dry rotted and the ends fell off. My solution may not be pretty but it has been there more than twice as long as the Dorman caps I originally used.

Boy,,, I was thinking the EXACT SAME THING. They dry rotted a whole LOT faster that I ever expected them to... Didn't last long at all.. GARBAGE!
I have had problems with most of the Dorman rubber products, including the front drive shaft boot on the Jeep. Lasted exactly 1 year and 1 day, with a one year warranty of course. Found a US made boot and CV joint for a replacement.

It's sad but any aftermarket piece anymore is junk and so is the warranty
What is this?? Pic
