Default Using car exhaust for engine Pre- heat??

Note that mufflers rust out. There's a reason why, and the exhaust gas is it.

On a home furnace, you use a clay or PVC flue.

[It's less of an issue when the muffler/flue gets HOT and stays hot. It's the
cooler ones where the gases condense that get you..]
