I do have an over the top (ISP West version, painted with POR hitemp
exhaust paint) which is almost identical to a single extractor, except
it's inverted and the muffler is a bit smaller. Everything is under the
bellows, and there is still plenty of clearance between the top of the
muffler and the bellows (like 2 inches). I'm not sure how much more heat
this unit could generate as opposed to other extractor systems (?) but
the slight problem I'm still having seems to imply the post shutdown
heating of lines/pump and/or a blockage in the metal chassis line (it's
still hard to start when hot and then parked for 10-15 min, although I
can always get it started, and it doesn't skip a beat once running). Here
are a few photos:
