You mean that " Rotten Egg " smell ? Only at speeds over 90mph on a closed course with a professional driver at the wheel !

I thought it was only mine too, but if you're talking about the rotten egg smell, it seems to be a characteristic of several of these cars. I don't know if it's because of the positioning of the cats or because there's twice as many as whats on a normal car. But alotta folks I've asked about this have the same issue.
I only smell mine when I'm into the throttle really hard or I've run the car very fast for a short while.

Rotten egg smell is the cats. I had this smell when I first bought my car. A couple of high speed runs taking each gear to red line fixed it for good and has not come back. The person who owned my car before must have driven it like a grandma.
