That's quite insane for an aircraft with a liquid cooling system.
Using the exhaust to heat has always been considered something to
avoid unless there are no other possibilities, like in an air cooled
Volkswagen Beetle or an air cooled Lycoming engine. It is avoided
because due to the high surface temperature it always gives a bad
smell and there is the risk of CO poisoning. Why not using the coolant
or the radiator exit air for cabin heating? It is one of the
advantages of the Rotax engine, not having to resort to exhaust based
cabin heating.
