That is because there is always cooling air flowing through the heat exchangers, we just get to control where the hot air gets dumped, inside or out. Plus this is exhaust heat, not heat from within the engine, it really is not the same thing. It is kind of like asking yourself if it would make any difference to the engine temp if you turned the garden hose on your muffler; the answer is no.
