plzz dont say cats again !! ??? help

What up guys , maybe somebody can tell me what's wrong, this morning I got up and went to work
As soon as I got there I was parking my car, so I open the door real quick when I got this bad as smell like
Rotten eggs it was really bad so I left it alone thinking it was outside , 10 mins later started the car the first
Few mins no smell after a few the smell came back ? I just changed the two front cats like 2 months ago can it be my muffler because pieces from the old cats got in the muffler, he told me I need to change my mufller but havnt got a chance . So can it be the muffler giving off that crazy bad smell or the cats ? What can I do to fix this ?? All I know is that if its the cats I'm going headers ... like I should of in the first place.

You said you changed the front Cats. What about the Main Cat? Rotten egg smell is usually a bad sign.

But before you contemplate suicide or a new Cat why don't you get a can of Cat Cleaner from Pep Boys or Autozone?

One of my buddies tried it on a V6 Camry and the smell stopped and that was over a year ago. Np guarentee, but all you have to lose is about $12.

Dump it in with a tank of 93 octane and see what happens.

Good Luck.

Cat cleaner, eh? I've noticed the occasional rotten egg smell and I get a random P0420 code every couple of weeks. $12 is a lot less than replacing pre-cats.
