If I leave something in my car for a couple of days it smells like exhaust For instance...if I leave a shirt in my car for a day or two it smells like exhaust...but to me the inside of my car doesn't smell like there is a leak...could there be a small one that i don't notice?...if so i guess it could be dangerous to my health?..

Thats weird, I would jack the car up and check for leaks, not sure if it could be dangerous but it cant be good if its that much that its makin your stuff smell like exhaust

....i don't see how that would make a difference....exhaust would still be getting in the car..because cats don't direct the flow of exhaust

Ya I like the smell of 1972 but smelling like gas before going out is not too cool. The difference it makes between having cats vs not is the unburned hyrdocarbons, which is probably what you are smelling. I have the same problem, but i just think im used to it because everytime I drive my car my parents says i smell like exhaust
