Default Weird smell after getting on it

I will get on the gas a little ,but when I come to a stop. I smell this horrible smell through my a/c vents. Right now I have the heat on cause it is a little cold here. I do not know if it because my heater is on. Same thing happen when i have the outside air coming in through the vents without a/c. Can anyone help me solve my problem.

Well I do not have a cat. I got it cut off and just running full 3" exhaust. Not like a rotten egg but like a strong brunt smell. I looked in my engine bay nothing looks like it been baked.

well the fact you have no cat can be worse than a cat going bad it does the same thing, only worse... cars come with cats for a reason (a few reasons actually)

I took the cat off for no back pressure with my turbo. I am guess maybe the smell is from there. Thanks everyoen
