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 didnt 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 its the other way around
also the outlet of oil cooler as installed is less likely to get contaminated with
exhaust fumes.
