Default Gas Smell

When I rode in my little brother's car I got out stinking like exhaust. He's driving open manifold and that's what I figured the reason was but I've heard of other people having the same problem with a full exhaust. Anyone else have the same problem? I'd imagine that with a full exhaust and no fuel leaks there should be no smell.

Full exhaust you'll still smell it from the wastegate from you boost unless its closed loop.

I run open downpipe, and don't smell like exhaust after boosting. I can usually pop the hood after a run and not even smell exhaust. However, I run a dumptube...maybe these guys aren't.

Its only going to smell if you boost i.e. when the wastegate opens up.
