I was just going to use exhaust cut outs. They are very common OE on older 1980s vehicles. Most are vacuum or mechanically controlled.
You don't want all the engines exhaust trying to go through the cooler while running at speed. Plus you will want a way to close off flow to the exhaust heat exchanger when the weather warms back up. All of it at idle while warming up might be nice.
I think after the catalytic converter would be the best place to put it. The exhaust will be hotter and contain less soot.
