Smell of gas?

So, ive had this problem for awhile. I'm not sure if its common with Evo's, but i've noticed that even when I just start my car I can just smell gas, from the exhaust - it's not bad until I get on it, then get to a stop.

I'm not sure if its a gasket leak or what- i've done a boost leak test and nothing leaks until after 33psi. I got into an accident which crunched my evap canister, on the end near the exhaust - so that's open now instead of recircing. Maybe thats the cause of it? I'm not quite sure.

Edit: If it helps, exhaust mods are:
Stock o2
Ebay downpipe
Unknown Hi-flow Cat
Blitz Cat-back

Any suggestions would be great.

Is your gas mileage affected at all? Possible fuel leak?

Mine sometimes stinks of gasoline when I park it after a spirited run.
