      You may also have a cracked downpipe of a cracked flange on the downpipe where it connects to the cat . It just might be the donut between them that is leaking .

      Mine smells like exhaust when I crack a window just a bit , it sucks it in from under the car , I have a cracked flange in front of the cat on the pipe side ,I had it welded and replaced the donut , I still smell it ,but not as bad , when the windows are up , I can't smell it .

        Thanks for the tips on the cracked pipe, I'll check into that this weekend. It sounds exactly like you had the same problem as i do. So thanks a lot and I'll let you know what i come up with. As far as the cad converter how exactly can you tell if it is bad or not? i took it off and looked at it and you could see straight through it so it wasn't st oped up. So if you could tell me if there is another way it could be bad i would surely would be thankful!
