If this isn't a joke, you need to fix your exhaust. There is most likely a leak somewhere causing CO to get into the cabin.

A potential very dangerous situation, and it's definitely a Bad Thing(c).

yeah o well it could be a variety of things... my one friend said he was feeling a lil dizy but not really i was fuckin bombed and the other guy said he felt nothing. it could be a varity of things though. i mean i was using some really strong wd40 like stuff and there was alot of salt under the car i had been inhaling for the past 4 hours (the exhaust didnt go on very easily because im a retard)

Here's a quick and very dirty test. It helps to have a friend present. Sit at the rear of your car and put your foot (while wearing shoe's of course) up to the exhaust pipe, essentially blocking it. Have your friend listen under the car for any leaks (hissing, wistling, etc). Note that your RPM's will drop a bit while this happens.

It's worth a try and has worked for me in the past

I suggest do what kcbhiw suggested, works quite well.

instead of blocking the tip of the exhaust, spray an abundant amount of water on all your connecting joints. if it bubbles and spits back at you, then you have a leak.
