    • Each cylinder is connected to the muffler on its side of the engine by an exhaust pipe

    Muffler Assemblies

    • Enclosed in shrouds that capture ram air
    • Ram air is heated by the exhaust gases in the muffler
    • Heated air is used for:
      • Heating the aircraft cabin
      • Furnishing heated air for carburetor heat at the engine intake system
