Default exhaust stanks!!!

like it says. it smells like rotten eggs. not sure if it has always smelled that way, but have recently noticed it. any ideas. i've been running 93 octane like forever from the same place, and haven't made any changes to my car in months except turn up the boost a little. any ideas would help, thanks.

toasted cat... and then ur O2 is getting all jacked up because of the lack of cat. Time for a summer tune up anyway.

yeah that seems to be the culprit. i wanna do a high flow cat or just not run one but i like the enviornment too much, plus i have to do emmissions soon to. so i dont know what i am going to do. i dont think theres an exhaust leak either so it must be the cat, but we'll see.

It is 110% the cat, so go pick up one of Magnaflow's OBD-II compliant cats (If it can pass OBD-2, we're fine), a new O2 sensor, and a tank of REGULAR 87 for the emissions test, unless you are leaving the boost on for the test.
