If you run the stock heat exchangers will they operate OK with no airflow over them. I have built my own manifold/exhaust in place of the std T3 system which fits onto the back exhaust ports & the heat exchangers. I don't really need heat in the car - I live in a warm climate & it has no roof anyway. Will the stock heat exchangers overheat if I don't connect them up?
