This doesn't sound like a very good idea to me. A car's exhaust
has a tremendous amount of water in it, and not very much heat idling on a
cold day. You'll put lots of condensation on whatever you're trying to
preheat.

If you can deal with long-term (a couple of hours), try to put an
electric heater on it. If you want quicker (20 minutes or less), get a
kerosene-fired flame-thrower and duct that up.

These recommendations are worth exactly what you paid for them..
