The plans call for mounting the cabin heat muff for an IO-360-M1B (180hp fwd induction) engine on the #1 cylinder exhaust pipe. The problem with that is the SCAT tube routing is rather convoluted.
I saw a couple of builders put it on the #3 cylinder exhaust and pull air off the back of the baffles. The SCAT routing is nice and short, but the heat muff is a bit cramped on that section of pipe:
The bigger problem is that the muff is right over one of the slip joints in the exhaust. Is that a bad thing? Can exhaust leak out of the joint?
