It's extremely dangerous to route something like that in the cabin as even a small leak could cause CO poisoning over a period of time, and you might not even know it's happening.
Was it a poor man's heater or something? It would have been less length of pipe to just run it out the back like sane people do. Heck, it would make more sense to pipe it straight up from the hood than into the car.

It has 2" pipe running all the way back to the stack my problem isn't even that its an interior exhaust its that it's all hard mounted, its connected at the manifold and welded to the floor where the stack comes up and with all those diesel vibrations somethings gonna give, also it does not leak into the cab so not an immediate concern it will be going just not right away.

I had an 81. best I could get was 45 mpg, driving 55 on the freeway. there's an OD that works great on this car. Audiovox makes it.

As I've already stated this car has a drivetrain swap already It has a newer 1.6l and 5-speed which I assume to be a Turbo Diesel motor it has all of the exterior bits from one anyway just missing exhaust manifold and turbo, Even if it isn't a turbo motor the 4psi of boost I want to run are not going to destroy an N/A motor and it already has a 5-speed with a slight adjustment to the injection pump and injection timing 50-60 mpg should be within reach
