I ran Fenton headers with a stock intake without heat last summer
without any problem. It probably depends on the weather where you live
and if it is a daily driver. I still don't have any heat to my Offy
intake but I don't drive it in the winter.
Another way to go is Mike Yoder from Kansas Kustoms 316-663-3256 can
split your stock manifold and retain your factory heat riser. It costs
about the same as Fentons and has about the same sound and performance.

I'm considering installing Fenton Headers on my '59 Chevy 235, but I can't
afford one of those cool "Offie" intake manifolds. If I stick with the
original intake, the exhaust heat will no longer warm up carb flow. I found
someone who makes a custom bullet heat exchange for Fenton headers. It
redirects heat to a bolt on heat plate on the intake. Is this system really
necessary or can I run without it?
P.S. Does any one have any good or bad feed back about Fenton headers compared
to other inline headers?
-Thanks
