Default smoke smell in car

k so its fine if i drive with my windows up but if i roll mine down it starts to smell like exhaust in my car, and even more when the passenger window is rolled down, i fell like im going to die. At first i thought it was because my exhaust tip was a little short and kinda blew half into the bumper cause it was tucked so much and maybe it was getting sucked into the tailgate from the draft that is created at the back of cars. but if modified the exhasut and it sticks out of the bumper now but still smells. my exhaust gasket on the head is fine and all the other gaskets are too i cant figure out how this smell is gettuig into the car

get teh car on a lift and get under it while its running, move yourahnd arround the pipe to see if there is a mass of air leaking out ofhte pipe somewhere, youll find it then. and if its happening when you have the car widoes down in the front it proberly becouse the leak is before the door somewhere, proberly where your Down Pipe and cat join.
