Hi Flat ford. you will notice the engine is facing rear to the front and what you figured was a muffler was a hot air catchment and I figure it was for the carby to prevent or clear carb icing. It certainly wouldn't be for pilot heating for as Tom said it's fairly warm sitting directly behind the radiator.
Did you see Tom had one hanging up in his shed along with 2 other going aeroplanes. I just hadn't expected to learn of any others apart from the display at Oshkosh. That's amazing.
