An embodiment of the present invention takes the form of an IBH system (95) that has two conduits (100,105), which are positioned close to a downstream end of a silencer section (90). This arrangement may reduce the overall pressure drop associated with the inlet system (55). This arrangement may also promote a substantially uniform mixing between the cooler ambient air and the warmer heated air.
