Brief Description:  Cabin Heat Muff Installation - Part 2

I added a 2" hole in the right, front floor baffle along with a screen for the heater intake. The hose installation was pretty simple. The hose from the heat muff to the firewall control was pretty simple as well. I had an extra heat shield left over that is normally used to protect the throttle cable from the exhaust that passes near by. Since I don't have a crossover exhaust, it wasn't an issue. I opted to use the extra heat shield on the #3 cylinder exhaust pipe to protect the SCAT tubing. I'm going to add a cushion clamp around the #1 cylinder intake pipe and then around the SCAT tubing to keep it in place. Connection of the SCAT tubing to the firewall control was pretty straight forward and fortunately the hose just missed all of the other hoses and whatnot in the back of the engine.
