air is sucked in from outside, so if you have an exhaust leak it will get sucked into your car

check your PCV valve, if it's not doing it's job, you may be getting some fumes in from the external ventilation intake. If not that, you can check header pipe to catylitic converter, there could be a leak there, but I'd check the PCV valve, you might be getting some blow by.

Check your entire exhaust system for any cracks in the piping/welding. I had the same issue w/ and old Apex1 Dunk system. Almost choked to death on the carbon monoxide. Problem solved when I replaced the entire system w/ a Greddy EVO2.
