Especially in the summer if you gun your car hard you'll smell the sulfer.. It's just burning off in the Cat. It's a normal smell.. But if it starts smelling like rotten eggs then you got a problem there.

I had that proglem in my 1944 GMC.... Not cats there. Turned out to be a crack in the battery housing.

Yeah but his only smells when he pushes the car. So I very much doubt it's the battery..

Sulphur will smell like a chemical that you can kind of stand smelling, but the rotten eggs smell will make you want to throw up if you smell it for like a min.
