A short piece of SCAT tube will pick up hot air from the exhaust duct and dump it into the cabin. I'm choosing to pull from the oil cooler because it'll be much hotter than the radiator and will heat much faster than the water. Those muffler cowl things just scare the bejeesus outa me. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the exit air should be somewhere around 140 degrees Farenheit. -- ----Because I can---- http://home.nc.rr.com/deltabuilder ------------------------
