Sulfer smell.....
I've been noticing a sulfer smell off and on from the exhuast.... Should I try some higher octance gas, or just go ahead and replace it?
I'd make a test pipe, but until I swap motors I'm stuck with emissions requirements (wich this car passed at the end of august......).

It's not the cat.

Finally got around to changing the cat, and the smell went away.
Seen a few friends go through the same thing as well.

Well I will share an experience I had. Long time ago my car (G20) had this sulfer smell for about a month. When I would sit and idle it would smell like fart everywhere. This was over a 1 month period with gas from many different places.

Sometimes it takes a little while to burn all the sulfur out of them. If you replace the cat and get another tank of gas with a high sulfur content you'll be right back where you started. (With a lighter wallet.)

You may have a point there. But after I changed my cat, I didn't have the problem anymore and neither did my friends.

Well, next time it happens, I will just sit it out and see if it goes away on its own. But I can remember it getting worse as time went on. And replacing the cat fixed it completely. But I will see what happens next time.
