Will the Corvair motor get to hot if I don't use the lower heater

asking is I want to use the ultimate exhaust from clarks. They say I can 
cut holes in the shrouds to install it. Will the cylinders get to hot 
with out the shrouds? Thantyou Jim in the AZ dessert lol.
Jim,

That's how I run my '65 Monza.

So far no problem. It has run up the mountains here in Southern California 
and in the desert
without a hitch.

The only time to worry on your trike is when you're sitting in traffic. The 
heat will rise straight up and back into the blower intake.

But somehow I get the feeling you wont be "sitting" much.

Enjoy!
