Exhaust Smell In Cabin?
well i took my car to the exhaust shop yesterday to get the cutout moved from where the res. used to be to on the DP. my fiance took it in since i had to work so i never got to hear it but i guess it is LOUD which is what i wanted. he put the cap on it til my e-cutout gets back to me next week since it went to **** awhile back. the exhaust guy said that exhaust would get into the cabin with how the cutout was located now but after it was capped i can still smell the exhaust when i come to a stop and sit for a little bit. is there a reason as to why i am still smelling exhaust even though the cutout is completely capped and bolted on? i guess he said he can put some type of pipe on there to help direct the exhaust away from the cabin next week but im just trying to figure out why the exhaust is still coming into the car?

The best long term solution is to have the shop remove the down pipe and check and weld the cutout onto it on a bench rather then while its still in the car. That way they can get a good weld all the way around and see what they are doing. Make sure you have new good quality gaskets. I have seen plenty of "new" cheapo gaskets leak from the start.
