Default RobbinsWings Carb Heat Muff

The RobbinsWings Carb Heat Muff comes in 4 or 6 inch versions, which one do I want for my RV7 O-360 crossover exhaust? Is the 4 inch for the O-320?

Default how much heat do you need?

I put the 6" on my 0-320 with typical crossover. I can't imagine why you'd bother with a 4", more heat is always better, right? The 6 is just adequate in my opinion. I'd recommends wrapping the pipe with some kind of heat transfer material; spring coils, stainless steel wool, etc.
call Robbins, they probably have more feedback for you.

Probably don't need as much heat as you do, but winters usually hit single digits. No luck calling yet, I thought I might get an easy answer here. On RobbinsWings website they list 4 or 6 in on the carb heat muff, they don't list an 8. The cabin heat muff they do list a 7, 8, 9 inch for the cabin heat muff though.
Thanks,
Andy
