Rotten eggs, smelly smelly. Any suggestions?
I did the basic exhuast upgrades header, cat back, intake and high flow cat. First off I put on a huge high flow cat on the ones usually used on Stangs and Camaros but I got it at cost so I couldn't pass it up. Anyway whenever I'm driving my car normal and keeping the rpms down my exhuast smells like rotten eggs. I know I'm overloading the cat with fuel and the burning of the fuel in the cat is producing the smell. My question is what can I do about it and what is the best way to go. Test pipe? Chip? Fuel management? Any suggestions would help. Thanks guys!

Rep Power: 0 every catback exhaust system has an odd smell when first installed....there is stuff inside of it that needs to be broken up....
it wont last too long, maybe a week or so, depending on how much you drive....no worries

Rep Power: 0 just go get some real eggs and place them in your front seat, and when someone asks you where the smell is coming from, just say "It's these eggs in my front seat!"
Problem solved, that will be $10.50 please

Try buying a cat that is made for our cars (a smaller one for 4 bangers). They cat you have may be too big and thus the gas is going right through it without going through any chambers to "clean" the exhaust gas before exiting the system. I'm willing to bet that that is your problem.
