    Answer: yes the car would explode in a supernova of mallow cream. From the exhaust pipe the marshmallow would be sucked into the carburator and be injected into the pushrods. This pressure would overwhelm the PCV valves and force an explosive decompression.

    You do know the exhaust pipe is to exhaust engine combustion, not the interior of the car, right? And that it’s continually pumping exhaust out as the enfine is running.
