Default GP Eagle 580 4 st muff inside cowl???

I have a G P Eagle 580arf 53" and I plan on putting an Os .81 fs in it.

My plan is to route the exhaust back under the cowl and out the bottom.

If I use the stock muffler inside the cowl will it get too hot?

Thanks Jimmy

Just make sure you have plenty of airflow. The rule of thumb is an air exit that is 3x bigger than the inlet I believe or something like that.
