(FlyboyTR) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:16:54 PM PST US Subject: Continental-List: Re: Bypassing the muffler heat cuff? From: "FlyboyTR" Let me see if I can clarify this... I have a fully functioning heating system with air control valve......etc,,,,,etc..... I do NOT have a secondary cool air inlet (only the one going to the heater cuff. Yes, I can start fabricating and cutting holes, installing new fresh air hoses, change the existing heater control valve so that it will accommodate both a hot and cold inlet, etc. Problem is.......I don't won't to do all that. I just want to completely bypass the heater cuff so that the air will flow directly to the control valve without being heated. This will help to add more cool air in the cockpit. the question is........ will this cause an overheating issue with the muffler/cuff (since it no longer will have cool air being ducted to it)? I appreciate the suggestions...and I may have to do major plumbing work before it's over with...but for now, I'm looking for something quick and simple! Thanks again!
