Easier to plumb, No CO. Flying up here in the winter in a spam-can they are notorious for being very cold with pathetic amounts of heat being supplied by the heat-muff. While I've never really had to deal with this, I didn't want to either, when there is a better solution available. I honestly doubt that a regular sized heat muff could provide as much heat as what I get from the coolant. Also when the power is off there is much less heat available from the exhaust pipe, while the coolant is much more stable in temps.
    Another thing I've considered that may not be valid at all, but what about about noise? Is there any of the exhaust noise carried through the duct to the cabin?

Why?  If I ever manage to not have the plane down during the winter, I will have to add heat.  The current plan is a standard heat muff. 

Cheers,

Rusty
