where do you go to get your gas? sometimes cheap gas can make all sorts of smells, and with a free flowing exhaust, it may amplify it.

is the exhaust bare metal or painted? if it is painted it is probably just the paint burning off.

could be a bad cat converter. When those start to go out they smell funky.
