Hey everyone im new to this forum. I searched around SVT and a few other sites and couldn't find an answer so I'll make an open question. I am planning to do for a full headers and exhaust swap sometime but am wondering if LTs create a whole lot more heat than the stock manifold, and if so, would the stock heat vents be able to efficiently cool the engine compartment? Full disclosure, I might be subconciously trying to convince myself to buy the Roush Heat Extractors.. I have a 2016 GT Base in Oxford White. Anyone that have a full exhaust with headers I would appreciate any info. Thanks!

Send the headers to swaintech for white lightning coating and done. No header wrap to mess with.

Fwiw: I just installed some stainless power lt's w/catted merge pipes about 2 weeks ago.

I took the car out this morning and thoroughly put it through the wringer. I opened the hood to do one more check for leaks and the under hood temps didn't seem much higher (if at all) than it was prior to install.
