Hey, Rusty....just curious as to why you
might prefer an exhaust heat muff. Since we have water cooled engines, one
of the benefits is the capability to use that water in a heater core for good
heat, no danger of carbon monoxide poisioning, and it will also assist as an
emergency radiator in case of overtemps. Plumbing or space
limitations? Paul Conner
Hi Paul,
First, I don't have room for a heater core, and
plumbing. Second, there's a lot more heat available in the exhaust,
than in the water. I also believe the concern about CO poisoning
is far overstated. Still, I have a colored dot type, and an
electronic type CO sensor, and would be careful not to put the muff on a joint,
but rather a straight piece of pipe (with none of my welding to depend
on).
Cheers,
Rusty (driving near Leeward air ranch on
