Mark -
If the fumes are slight, this is normal because wind will buffet from the
back of the car into the cockpit.
If you have alot of fumes, turn the car on (when it is cold) and run your
hand along the pipes (before they get hot!) and feel for gasses coming out.
You may have a leak on the junction between the manifold and the downpipes
also...
