LOL right? It's weird how they keep having to use ultra copper to seal exhaust gaskets, but then later on the smell comes back

My friend who's a technician at Subaru said to take out the headers and put copper silicone on gaskets for a full seal.

Update:

There was black soot on the gaskets.

My guy said the gaskets aren't that good even though they came with the header.

Hes working on the car now.

Will give update later

Update:

No more smell unless coming to a stop or reversing! (This is expected)

Thanks to everyone that commented.

Mechanic put some gasket sealant on the headers to block, headers to overpipe and overpipe to fp.

Update...

Smell vaugely came back into cabin.
