No it's got the original heat exchangers in it, I didn't know that they wore out! I have 145K miles on the car.

If anyone else has had to replace the exchangers what was the concern? Exhaust smell in the heater? Were there any noises? And, of course... how much does it cost to replace them? I need the heat but can't deal with the exhaust smell let alone the CO poisoning. Thanks.
