Default exhaust smell in m car

Does anyone else with FI car have that exhaust smell in their cars? I have no cat Thermal 3" cat back and open dump tube that ends right next to the oil pan. I want this smell to go away. It doesnt just smell at WOT but all the time and sticks to your clothes.
What can i do? i thought about routing the dumptube into the exhaust. Would that help at all?

Routing the dumptube back into the exhaust would help decrease the smell when you're making full boost, but if it's happening all the time, you probably have a leak where the exhaust is mating up with the flepipe on your manifold. Is the smell percolating up through the shifter console thingy?

I had open down pipe and dump tube right beside the oil pan, every time i got on it the whole car would fill with smoke.

best bet would maybe buy a turn down for the dump tube, and like GSaura said make sure its not coming up through the shift boot
