(GLENN JOHNSON) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 06:59:58 PM PST US Subject: Continental-List: Bypassing the muffler heat cuff? From: "FlyboyTR" I am not sure exactly where I should post this question? I have a Continental IO-240 in my Experimental Vixen. I have the stainless steel heat cuff on the muffler to provide cabin heat. I want to disconnect the Scat tubing (inlet and outlet) and bypass the heat cuff completely. I will reroute and connect the Scat tubing. This will allow non heated air to flow through the heat/vent system to provide more cooling in the cockpit. Will having the tubing disconnected create any strange heat issues? I really dont think that it wouldbut would appreciate some feedback regarding this. Thanks!

Hi Travis I'm no expert but what I did on my o-200 is use a air valve to let either h eated air or outside air into the cabin. I bought it through Aircraft Spru ce. I have a cool air tube as well as a warm air tube that stays attached to the heat muff. My flapper valve will still allow some air to flow throu gh the heat muff and the vent overboard so that there is still air moving t hrough the system to cool it somewhat. Biggest issue I see is the possible overheating of the exaust and heat muff as usually when these are in the o ff position, then air is dumped overboard. Just my thoughts as mine is not flying yet.
