My friends keep telling me that if their behind me and I got go full throttle my car smells really bad. I can smell it inside the car too sometimes. All I got is a muffler so I doubt its that. Any chance that it would be my cat thats shot or something? Hopefully nothing to serious.

well my eclipse was the same way..they said it smelled - and it threw out blue smoke! - i found out later it needed a rebuilt motor! - how many miles are on your car? i had 112,000

67,000 KMs....no blue smoke - everything else seems fine.

A bad cat will have the smell of sulfer (rotten eggs)

Una salus victus.

yea thats true unless you dont have a cat..and you know a cat does nothing after 60K - it is basically usless - but i dont think it is your motor then with 67K, like he said ^^might be your cat...

You probably have an exhaust leak before the cat, or the cat-converter itself is bad.

Bad exhaust odor is usually due to a bad catalitic converter, or bad O2 sensors. Use to happen a lot in my old Cavalier, and it ended up being a bad Catalitic Converter.
