Friends....do you have this problem?

I have double checked all sections of the muffler (original Parts),re-torqued all the bolts, checked for leaks (none found). I continue to get a strong smell of exhaust inside the car with all the windows and top up. I went to the extreme to add a longer tail-pipe tip extensions to reduce or eliminate the " suction" thru the trunk (see Image).

Any idea or suggestion I can check on the car to reduce this issue?

All suggestions are welcomed.

I'd second what John said. Definitely not normal. As a reference, I never get exhaust smell in my car even currently with a bad exhaust leak right behind the cat.

I also agree.....it's not normal. I have a new center and tail pipe. I am driving the car on secondary farm roads, there is not traffic at all. I go less than 1 mile and the car starts to smell, badly!

Adding ventilation to the car may be a quick fix.....however I am interest to the route cause of the issue. However I think that you recommendation my save my life ultimately. Thanks for your feedback.

I plan to do so this afternoon and report. I plan to re-torque the headers and those hard to reach bolts. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
