Message My car had done this since I did the paint job a few years back. Not as bad as you are describing, but would still get exhaust in the car if I rode with the windows down.

You most likely have a leak somewhere in the hatch area. When I searched, I found a couple things. One was that one of the gaskets on the center tail light panel had been pushed aside, so there was a big gap. The other was that my spoiler was not sealed. It is a one-off Fiberglass piece, and the guy had made some big ugly holes in the hatch, so it was sucking exhaust in through there. I sealed all those things up, and VOILA! No more exhaust in the car.

There are two plugs in the PS area behind the fender well. One is the drain for the antenna assembly, the other is just a drain I believe. Make sure those are intact.
