I know this topic has been hashed and rehashed but...
I'm ready to order my engine... I love the looks of the smooth cowl (already have one) and was planning to purchase IO-375 with horizontal cold air induction. I was taken back to learn that mufflers were not possible in this configuration but was even more concerned to hear that the heat muff may not be adequate for cold weather. My questions are for those with a smooth cowl.
1) Do you get enough heat?
2) Is the noise an issue?
3) Do you regret your decision?
Thanks for taking the time to answer!
