"how many of you have your pre-heated air pipe installed?"

Huh? All of mine rotted off years ago.

"or do you think its function is of significant value?"

Its significant value is only for getting an inspection sticker in states that are anal retentive about that stuff.

Without that flimsy aluminum hose in place, your car might run rough for 30 seconds longer on a cold morning. Otherwise, forget it.

Anyway, those first 30-60 seconds are when you're shaving and drinking your coffee and tying your necktie, so you shouldn't be accelerating hard. Install the hose only if the bucking causes you to spill hot coffee on your nu.... on yourself.
