it is more a transfer of heat (radiant) from the exhaust pipes to the filter
and pump...with your standard aftermarket header, the filter is neslted
among the pipes that cross in the rear of the engine...a filter pump i used
to have actually touched the header at the flange where the filter
mounted....wore a nice little flat spot in the aluminum flange....
