Alright, new day lol. Took the car to a shop had it inspected and oil changed. They said everything was great, the exhaust was loose and they had to heat it up and tighten it. I think the smells were mainly of exhaust which was a concern of the mechanics. They say because of the set up the fumes will heat up the fluid in the differential and cause more problems if its not watched carefully. There is a picture of it below. I was wondering if this something to be careful of, they suggested getting it to go all the way out the rear. I love the sound of the car. Its due for emissions in June. Should I take the advice and have it sent out through the rear?

Here is a list of the exhaust mods
Exhaust:
SLP stainless steel coated long tube headers
SLP stainless steel x pipe with race pipes/cats
Bassani stainless steel mufflers/pipes turned down at the axle
SLP stainless steel polished tips

just out of curiosity, why is it running turndowns? i've never heard of turn downs heating up the diff.

how new/old is that exhaust setup? could it be that something was recently installed and just hasnt burned off any excess packing "oil" or grease. i know when i got my SLP catback it smelled funny for about a week. corse, now i dont have any cats so it smells like gas all the time (not that i've smelled it in like 6 months gah)

I'm not sure why its running turndowns, I didn't set it up =(. I'm guessing the exhaust system is older like 5 years+ but there isn't really a smell anymore besides what the exhaust which with an open window I get a smell of sometimes.
