Not inside the car at all though. I actually don't mind it. Growing up around old muscle cars and the track it reminds me of that so.

Isn't there some sort of federal statement that you can replace your car's clogged/fouled cats under their dime? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there was some law out there.
Replace them.
Replace them.

Well this situation obviously leads to clogged cat, most likely primary, but I have a feeling they would just try to blame the cause from tune pulley and headers. I'm not positive there clogged, maybe I'll get,lucky and won't have smell if I fill at different gas station.

I've got 78000 on it. how do they diagnose? tearing it apart and visual inspection? I'm not about to pay dealer if in fact there not clogged. the the stink in the cabin was pretty bad. May have a very slight exhaust leak on one of the headers to make the smell so strong

Last time I floored it up two blocks uphill I got the sulfur/rotten egg smell. It cleared out after a little driving and my friends told me it is normal if the cats get really hot/rich.

^ exactly the same thing was a slight incline so they Prolly got pretty Damn hot . I mean as long as there not clogged I'll deal with it now and . car pulls real nice so ide imagine there would be some kinda issue power band wise if exhaust wasn't flowing properly
