if its the rotten eggs smell, then its just exhaust fumes

my car does the same thing.....i don't think it indicates a problem, but it still smells bad

when I rev hard....with the windows closed, the smell inside the car is unbearable!

BTW...it never did that with my stock exhaust system

i've gotta say i've never really noticed the smell with the windows up

it is more noticable with my windows down and i come to a stop at a red light.....then i get hints of the rotten egg smell
