Default Exhaust fumes in cabin at high RPMs

Has anyone noticed an exhaust smell in the cabin at high RPMs (below redline) in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gear? I only notice the smell if the recirc. button is off and I punch it in one of those gears. Thanks in advance for your comments.

if it's when you let off the throttle, it's probably normal
