I just accepted it and ran the A/C on recirculate when I was at a stop or in stop and go traffic. An exhaust leak in the area of the overpipe could also allow exhaust gasses to take a similar path to where the fresh air is grabbed for the A/C system.

Yeah my D3PE catch can makes race car smells. Windows down and you smell everything. I also have a lot of ventilation openings around the front so the smell is even stronger than normal.
