exhaust smell in car

I have a 1984 Z-28 with a slightly built 350. I have headers with a Flowmaster exhaust system. No catalytic converter. 3 inch exhaust. I know exhaust is going to smell but when I drive my car there is always an exhaust smell. When my wife and I take it on a trip we usually end up with a headache. There are no open holes in the firewall and no exhaust leaks. It's getting harder to convince her to ride in it with me. Any ideas?

There has to be an exhaust leak. If you're sure there is not, then run a cat. That should reduce the smell.
