not sure, but you can ask someone to hold up an old rug against the exhaust tip to try and block those fumes coming out.
This builds up pressure in the exhaust system and it is much easier to find if you have a leak somewhere (as all the additional pressure is trying to get out there then).
if you have crossflow pipes you'll have to block both exhausts. Don't use any kind of plug, don't stick anything into the exhaust, just try to hold it closed if that makes any sense)
