Whenever I went for a ride my TA would fill up with exhaust. So I just had a brand new exhaust system installed and repaired damaged floor boards in my car.

Now, there's no fumes when sitting still...but the more speed I get, the more fumes will enter the car and choke me out! It's so frustrating. Did anyone ever experience this?

Is there something I missed or am missing? Thanks in advance for any help!

Do you have the exhaust running all the way to the back? Is your PCV system hooked up and working? Too much blowby at speed?

Regards, George

i believe my pcv is hooked up and working. the pipes do reach all the way to the back of the car (no extenders or tips). what did you mean by too much blowby at speed?
