Default My A/C smells like exhaust

I like the smell of my exhaust after I got an ORY. But recently I turned on the A/C (heat) for the first time, and it smells like exhaust. If I have the controls set to vent, it doesn't smell like exhaust. Could it be caused by an exhaust leak? I have the shitty U-clamps that came with the pacesetters.

It doesn't bother me too much, but I can already hear all the girls complaining about the smell.

Hmm well I just figured out today that it only does that when I'm stopped. I guess it's something I'll have to live with.

Thank you for replying.

Guess I'll need to look around for some band clamps.

I immediatly replaced the cheap clamps with band clamps. I had a small leak on the left front clamp, (where ORY pipe meets header) but I tightened it and have not had any problems since then. Good luck finding the leak!
