Any muffler that eliminates the upper heat exchangers will make those 
mixer boxes inoperative. If you plan to continue using one of those, 
you can just forget about the mixer box function and either let the 
thermostats pop or remove the thermostats. Either way, you'll want to 
block off the upper opening to keep hot air from spilling out.  

With those mufflers, you'll get less hot air, since there's no fresh 
air mixing in with it, and less heat because you aren't picking up 
any heat from the rear cylinders.

At this point in our cars' lives, heat is less important for most of 
us, because we don't drive them in cold weather like we used to.
