You might have hit something, and it got caught on your superheated exhaust and got stuck onto it. I was doing the same and got a piece of paper stuck, the thing caught smoke and I went nuts thinking it was my engine.

Alas, false alarm.

You may wanna just check with a flashlight.

I thought the rotten egg smell was an indication that your catalytic converter may have seen better days.

I was told that a mechanic can take a temperature gauge and test the temperature of the catalytic after the car is fully warmed up and tell
you whether or not the catalytic converter is operating correctly, clogged, etc.
