Ion generators produce ozone and are a no no really. Putting one in the exhaust is another matter, as it would help catalysis and perhaps make more or less? NOx :) A good good way to reduce pollution, CO and clean exhaust, plugs and oil is install a vapour generator in your carb or intake. It depends on your vehicle where you put it. It can be installed by a drilled hole in the intake manifold or by the intake screws at the base of the carb. A hose of 1/8 inch size goes to an alcohol water tank. The tank has small receiver inside attached to the hose. The receiver has a pin hole of about 1/128 inch drilled in it. It is immersed in the contained fluid. The fluid should be 50-50 isopropyl and water. The fluid should drain at a rate of, say, 2 quarts to 4000 to 8000 miles. It seems miniscule but it has a noticeable effect.

Headache and wobbly legs is CO for sure. But it also can cause just fall asleep drowsiness like you have been driving waaaaayyy tooooo long. If in any old car or ESPECIALLY a van, you get real head out the window to stay awake tired after about one or two hours on the road, have your vehicle smoke tested or just redo the entire exhaust front to back. Best 400 you ever spent. Then get the floor tarred and plated and welded until it passes the smoke and mirrors test. You won't smell exhaust gas in the car. Funny because you think you can smell it from the exhaust itself. Leaks at the front in the manifold gasket are not as serious. Leaks in the muffler and pipe joins etc, underneath driver's seat of the car are deadly. It's dead air there and high pressure compared to the car. Always travel with your fan on in the car full. Keep two windows cracked. This is no guarantee at all, but it is some safety at least. Even in this config you will still get excess CO with a leaky exhaust. It has to go past you to get out the window and that is enough.
