I had a similar issue; sometimes the exh could be detected in the cabin..more noticeable when stopped at a red light. I inspected the exhaust system and was surprised to find that the muffler case was rusted through...at the top! When I initially looked at the muffler I looked only at the bottom and did not see anything suspicious. The more thorough second inspection revealed the problem. There was a big piece of the muffler case missing at the top, by the inlet.
