So i got a 92 hatch Dx...

normal everyday driving, the car smells fine. Rev it once or twice, hit high rpm
s, nothing...
However, as soon as i start driving like a maniac, especially in long pulls (i got a d16y8 w/ Dx tranny, I/H stock exhaust), i smell the exhaust in the car, not crazy like it's smokin', just I smell it...

Also, have you guyz noticed that when u ride hard, the shift boot gets hotter!?!? like you can feel the transmission's heat dispersion through the shifter boot...


Anyways, I understand that the car isn't air proof and everything, but am i the only one expereincing this phenomena when pushing on the motor?? or do other hatch owners have a similar experience?

if unusual thing, what could be the cause? just shitty aerodynamics? or 16 year old exhaust that needs attention?
