So how do I fix this problem. I tried with my ac off and it doesn’t smell. So you’re right

They are accessed from the trunk one on each side, under where the amp is and on the other side. They are black vents with a rubber flap these break or even come off which in turn allows the exhaust to enter the cab of the car. All you have to do is replace them. $20-$30 for each one!! Also will fix the issue with the stereo not working when it rains due to the condensation that builds up around the amp!! No need to replace your cats or anything else!! I'm telling you, check these first!!
What's the name of vents? So I can purchase on eBay?
