Brian,
You're right about the exhaust fumes, they are trapped in the area of low
pressure right behind the car that is created when the car is at speed.
Eventually some of the fumes wind up in the boot. If you can get the
exhaust into the slip stream then they won't get trapped behind the car.
Here was my solution.
