thats where I was coming from - its safer to use this way as it is a controlled amount of exhaust heat.
as an extra you can regulate the amount of exhaust gases going into the combustion chamber to make the right temperature for efficent combustion in both winter and summer.
even if you used a dead end running off the exhaust it would still heat up quite a lot allowing you to transfer heat to the coolant.
