Can anyone tell me why these lines have this section installed in it.
These are the Fresh air and exhaust lines to the furnace.

If thats the venting for a Lennox G14 or GSR14 series pulse furnace, there have been a history of problems with cracked heat exchangers. Those need evaluation by a specialist.

I was unable to verify the date aside from a sharpie marking dating for March of 1983.
I recommended a full system evaluation by a licensed HVAC tech before further pursuit of purchase.

You can get a 6° temperature difference just because the duct passes through the attic or crawlspace.
I don’t think anything was working.

Lennox Industries Inc., the maker of Lennox Pulse furnaces, announced it has set up a free program to inspect Lennox furnaces installed from 1982 to 1989 to check for carbon monoxide leaks or as the company stated: "because of “increased instances of corrosion in some Pulse furnace heat exchangers in units installed before 1990.”
Please inform your client as these can be a very real safety hazard.
