I'm using an O-320 with Vetterman exhaust and the Van's heat muff.

I also added a muff on the crossovers, and put the two in series.

I twisted mine, but it still contacts the cowl. I can't slide it forward any farther because it is already butting against the ball joint in the exhaust pipe. I'm thinking I might have to make the muff shorter so it won't contact the cowl. It it will need at least 1/4" clearance because the engine will move with respect to the cowl.
