Yeah, the CO is a worry but the heat muff is very light weight and provides instantaneous heat.

Jeff,
I'm considering going to a heat muff since there is sooooooo much exhaust heat that's just going to waste. I was going to incorporate it into the heat shield of my newest muffler design. Of course, I'll need to add a CO detector in the cabin for safety.

Well with 3 coolers already, I didn’t want to add a heater core and all the plumbing – I may move my scavenge point from oil cooler to water radiator as it is below the engine (uphill for warm
air) and closer to the firewall (fewer corners to turn). I picked the oil cooler because at the time my oil temp was higher than water temp – now it’s the other way around … also the outlet of oil cooler as installed is less likely to get contaminated with
exhaust fumes.
