stripped exhaust bolt is the most likely suspect, Unless you did not rebuild your head gasket in the last year. good way to rule that out. did you take off your exhaust manifold?

I have the same problem. I removed the seal on the rear of the hood to draw more air from underhood and keep the engine cooler. But when i'm idleing I get exhaust gasses in the cabin. I'm pretty sure it is coming from the engine bay as before i removed the rear rubber seal I didn't have the exhaust in the cabin.

I'm putting on a flex-a-lite 410 fan, uderdrive crank pully, and front strut tower brace as well as a dyno and tune over the next couple of days and will have Splitfire Auto look into the exhaust problem as well.

I'll report back soon.
