i just got back from a bit of a camping trip in my softop GV
and i noticed something when driving down the highway around 120kmh i can smell exhaust fumes, only faintly
it happened in my old soft top vit to so just wondering if anyone else gets it or its just a soft top thing?

out the back
i thought it might just be the gases circulating behind the car and sneaking in through the soft top a bit

Exhaust fumes over time fuck you over in the head badly!!!!
check you dont have a hole in the exhaust somewhere if you feel its only started otherwise you probably need to get the tailpipe further out the back

you need to check for any unblocked holes in your floor or really anywhere near your exhuast but on the body of your car. because i know if i have my window down even i little bit since im still not finished welding all my body holes shut i too can feel air come in even water to comes in when the road is wet with the air...

the only holes i have are my soft top, a tiny gap hear and there i think thats were it would be coming in
i might try slip some tube with a 90 degree bend over my exhaust so it sticks out to the side and see if i still get the smell.

As mentioned, side tailpipe will most likely fix this.
