/6 Hooker Headers...surprise

.
There are exceptions to every rule, Charlie, you know that.
In a street driven Slant with a normal length intake manifold and headers, there is much more than enough radiant heat to keep things running normally.
I have a set of the long tube Hookers on my slant in the 68 Barracuda, that set of Hookers has the provision for the carb heat, the Clifford intake manifold I am using also has provision for water heat, neither one is in use, as I am running MPFI don't need the hot spot below the carb. If I was running a carb or throttle body on the street or track, it would have a hot spot below the carb.
an increase in under hood radiant heat with either a carb or FI is the last thing you want, Like oldschool979, I wrapped the Hookers. All that pipe with the long tube Hookers adds heat to the engine compartment. Keeping the heat in the exhaust tubes makes the headers work and keeps the under hood electrical and fuel system components off your trouble list.
