Hey James: Do you have a cabin heat valve on the firewall that gets its
hot air from the left hand exhaust pipe heat exchanger? This cabin heat valve
is notoriously bad at not sealing well and allowing hot air to enter the
cabin. As I recall, someone came up with a way to stop this valve from
leaking, but I do not remember who or how they did it. If you did not need
cabin
heat, I would just take the hot air inlet to the cabin heat valve off and
move it to the bottom of the cowl until winter time when you may want cabin
heat.
You need the carburetor heat, which comes from the muffler heat
shroud, to utilize on landing.

My engine is undergoing a rebuild and since it's out of the way I see that
the muffler doesn't have any kind of heat shield which explains why I get
so much heat on my feet. In addition to the insulation package I bought
from Skyport is there anything else I can do reduce the heat coming off the
muffler?
