I'm looking for things to try here.
My exhaust isn't exactly stock, but exits the stock location.
What I can tell you is that I don't have an exhaust leak. With a window down, or the roof open its almost like the smell comes from the back of the cabin. It's surprisingly bad. My exhaust does really stink, there's no question about it, but It is bad enough in the cabin I think I need to figure out things to try.
With the windows up, and the heater fan on there is no exhaust smell.
Is there any air vents at the rear pulling exhaust gasses in? Any factory holes at the back I should be sealing? I think my tail gate seals well against the body. Seal the inside skin of the tailgate with something? Any factory holes towards the rear I can seal?
I thought about getting a 3" 45 degree piece of exhaust pipe and trying to re-direct exhaust more to the passenger side of the truck just to see if there is a difference.
Iv'e had this issue for years, and now the truck is running better and better so I'm focusing on other irritating issues. I'm kinda grasping at straws here.
