Cabin Exhaust
I have a slight exhaust odor but it seems serious as i got back from a 200 mi.
le trip around the 4thy of July and was pretty ill for several days. I noticed it the other day on a trip about 10 miles. I have a stainless steel muffler and pipe so it must be coming from engine compartment or from there to just beyond the CAT Any ideas?

A good possibility is the joint between the exhaust manifold and the section of pipe going to the cat(s). I would get it taken care of ASAP, as CO poisoning can be fatal.
Good Luck

Put the car on a lift and add some backpressure by stuffing a couple of rags in the tailpipe. Quickly, before everything gets too hot, use your fingers to feel and your ears to hear where the leak is. The stainless systems were usually clamped together and most leaks are at those joints. Look for telltale black soot also.
