Carb ice comes in a wide range of severity. The FAA requires 100 deg F rise for certification.

Guys,
 
I've got a friend looking at his 320 carb heat intake box.  The question is; Does lower cowl air have enough heat in it to prevent carb ice?  He is considering muffing an exhaust pipe to make sure the heated air is adequately hot. 
 
I was wondering if others have ever had carb ice with the standard Lancair carb heat box (using just lower cowl hot (warm) air)? 
 
We'd appreciate your thoughts.
