Cat Converter Makes a Stench???

Whenever I accelerate really hard, the "cat" releases a pungent, and dirty odor.

OR at least that's what the mechanic tells me.

Anyone have any ideas as to what else might cause this?

If your wondering it smells like someone farted.

Also, what about finidng a cheap cat? I can't seem to find any cheap ones they're all like $200+. GOD DAMN.
