Exhaust Smell coming through hatch ?!? HELP
Having my exhaust creep through the hatch when I am boosting or at a idle . Any idea on how I can seal it up more. I played with the bracket latch that holds the window down and still nothing . Really starting to **** me off

fix the exhaust leak, you shouldnt smell your exhaust when your driving. Maybe a small pin hole? or the muffler located to far behind the bumper?

There is a sealant that comes in a spray can from Lowes/Home Depot, that we use often. You can spray it on your welds and connections and it should help; i would also get some high temp paint and spray the cat cover, piping and area's from the header to rear axle; the spray should cover up any pin hole leaks. if you continue to have the smell, then your going to have to remove and replace gaskets, and other parts until its fixed.

There is no exhaust leaks though. When I go through the car wash ,water leaks through the hatch glass section . Even though its already tight down .

Could be a couple of things. Start with tightening up your tails, make sure your spoiler is tight and if none of that works you may want to look into replacing the hatch and window seal. Chances are (IMO) the the seal around your rear window. The window it self will have a good bit of flex to it and can lift off the seal.
