Robert, here are some things I'd check.
Is the smell strong when the car is moving, or only when the car is
stopped?
How far does the exhaust pipe extend at the rear? Past the bumper or
not?
Is your trunk seal in good condition? What about the seals on the tranny
cover?
Is your exhaust manifold cracked? Is the manifold to downpipe flange
rusted?
Hope there is help in there,
Jim

> I installed a sports Falcon muffler system on my TR6 this winter. I am
experiencing a lot of fumes inside the cockpit. I have tightened the
manifold to the head. I have tightened the flange of the first stage of
pipes to the manifold. The areas where the pipes interlock have been
crimped and the u-bolts are tightened. I cannot figure this one out. Any
ideas? Its especially bad when the top is up.
