Default Hard Acceleration = exhaust smell inside car

Hello forum family...been a while since I posted. Haven't researched any posts on here yet because of time concerning my experience...but here goes!

Had to accelerate hard to get around a few slow cars last night. The V-8 moved as expected with little effort. After coming off the accelerator I experienced exhaust smell coming into the cabin. I had the driver-side window down about 2 inches. Smell lingered for little over a minute then dissolved. Could this be gasket leak around manifold area??...no check engine light or funny noises from engine or codes.
