Exhaust Manifold broke in half, am i exposed to Carbon monixide poisoning

Question

My exhaust pipe broke in half from rusting in the middle of my car and it was dragging on the ground before i tied the pipe to the car with steel wire so it wouldn't drag anymore, now the exhaust comes out of the middle of the car where the pipe broke off, could i be exposed to deadly CO fumes? i always drive with the windows down, does that help?

Answer 1

yes it helps to have your windows down but its still not safe to drive the car with the fumes coming in like that.

Answer 2

Yes you can be exposed to CO. Why not go to a parts store and buy a pipe coupler and repair it? Or go to an auto repair shop and have it fixed...your life is worth a lot more than the few dollars it would take to repair it.

Answer 3

yes and you should smell the exhaust a little
