Unhappy Stinky Gas / Exhaust smell

Hi everyone! My 2000 GS 400 has that 'old car' stinky exhaust smell while running. I would like to get rid of the smell as it is annoying. Does anyone have any advise on what I can look for/replace to alleviate this problem? FYI, The CEL came on for some evap/emission codes a couple of months ago and I found two cracked hoses under the hood which I replaced and the codes went away. The CEL has not come on since.

Thanks in advance for the help!

From what you did ,your problem is solved. The engine was running lean which would cause the stinky or foul odor.
