Gday.
Is there any reason I shouldn't remove the exhaust shroud and hose ( that goes to the air cleaner)?
I want to bolt an oven to the manifold and have noticed it has a shroud top and bottom......fully enclosed with a pipe coming off going to the air cleaner
Is the only issues cold mornings..........I live Mid West WA and cant imagine the cold weather being a problem.....No different to fitting extractors I would have thought?

Any advice would be appreciated..... Cheers

Tear it off and bin it. Even here in Qld (5-6 degree winter mornings) I never had an issue with mine

I've had carby icing up issues in Ballarat, and the high country.
Throttle open almost all the way for long periods of time, (i.e. cruising speed) sub 10 degrees and moist causes issues for me.
Generally happens when its cool and humidity is high (mist, fog, mizzle, drizzle, rain etc)

I removed the heat shroud, warm air intake stuff etc when I installed my snorkel.
Carby icing up wasn't a problem in Melbourne, but in Ballarat it sucked butthole.

Just to clarify, it's not the fuel that freezes, it's the chilling effect of the fuel on high velocity, very cold, moist air that makes the water vapour condense, which reduces air flow and makes the car run terribly rich and doggy.

Out of interest what does removing the shroud do? Make the engine cooler as more heat can escape? Or mean the surrounding areas can heat up faster?
