Is it a gas smell, exhaust smell? What did you do/change on the car before you got it back on the road?

well mods the car has b18 with b20 head stage c2 cams and a 2.5 inch exhaust it smells alot towards front of car im thinking it may have a leak near the front end when windows are closed there is no smell in car only when windows are down and then it begins to come in car.

Does it have an aftermarket vented catch can? Is all emissions equipment in place such as the charcoal canister?
