If driving (posing?) around town with the windows down, get quite a bad smell of exhaust (sports pipes & de-catted) in the cabin (no probs at speed). Had a similar problem with the Griff and Fernies extended/move back the exhaust to throw fumes out past the bodywork, have had a look at the Cerb and the pipes do seem to finish under the bumper, so I'm guessing I need to do the same to get rid of the smell? Maybe I should pop down to Hellfords and buy a nice chrome Nova exhaust extention thingy from Demon Weeps or some such? ;-)

Yep mine does the same...

Some people have said that it may be something to do with the heat shield under the tunnel. Other people have said it may be because my manifolds have a few small cracks in them.

Have a search, I'm sure there was something about it a while back.

Just drive fast with the windows down all the time to resolve the issue.

I can confirm that mine does NOT do this. It does however have a std back box

(sorry if that is not exactly helpful)

It may sound a bit stupid but if I spray water (when washing) at the underside of the rear screen there are 2 places where it gets wet on the back parcel shelf.

It seems that there are 2 vents at about 200mm in from each side of the edge of the rear screen. Could it be that these suck in fumes etc. from the back of the car.

A design fault I suggest!

Can't say I've ever noticed this problem, and I've been stuck in slow moving traffic on the M25 a few times.

I also have sports pipes, with a decat.

There are two holes underneath the back of the rear screen. They are there to let air out of the cabin.
