I have noticed on all of my Triumphs that a worn boot lid seal will cause 
exhaust fumes to enter the cabin when the roof is up.

In my Stag, with a hardtop, I occasionally don't get the boot lid lock engaged 
and as soon as I hit about 40 mph you can smell it.

The length of the exhaust does not seem to be a factor.

That's interesting Edward since I know my boot seal is knackered. I have a new 
one which I was holding off fitting until I got the car painted. Might give it 
a try.
