So I’m a bit of a dumb ass and cut my mufflers off myself about a year ago…. I’m very much a hypochondriac and have been dealing with some weird symptoms past month… I have been having muscle twitches all over body, and constant muscle cramping/ tightness…. I started to think … maybe carbon monoxide has been leaking into my car and I have cause brain damage over time … the pipes end right at the end of the rear wheel… I usually drive with my windows down which should lower the chances right? Do you think carbon monoxide could leak into my car from where the pipes end (I attached a picture) Are these symptoms of carbon dioxide poisoning to begin with? I don’t know please give me some insight!
Been 11 months of nothing and just starting to notice? I’d say it’s unrelated. But this isn’t a doctor subreddit so don’t quote me on it. Also if your windows are down I would doubt it even more. Those symptoms aren’t common carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms or carbon dioxide poisoning unless you are light headed, nauseous, confused, or increased heart rate I wouldn’t put my money on it. If you are that concerned just buy a piece of exhaust pipe and some clamps and route it out the back of the car. As the car moves the air running underneath would help blow any CO or CO2 away from seeping into the cabin but if you are stopped and idling a lot then it would deep into the cabin much more. In conclusion, ask a doctor and fix your exhaust (fellow hypochondriac).
