Well it might be your cat converter, but try a different brand of gas for a few weeks. If that doesn't help get a tune-up and maybe a computer scan to see if there are any sensors out of range, causing a rich mixture. Good luck.

You'd be lucky to gain more than 1 or 2 HP. Not worth the time or the smell. I don't know about you but i don't like my cars to smell like somone has the shits.

if you still choose to run without a cateletic converter, then just throw a bunch of those tree fresheners in your car.

If your heater box in the dash goes out it can make the car smell like some raunchy shit. See if there is any water on your floor.

Yep, It's the cat. Failed catalytic converters can let out a stink like rotten eggs. It's the only rotten egg smell I've know a car to let out.

Removing the cat will not cause rotten egg smell. It's the failed cat that's doing the stinking.

It's illegal to remove of course.

You are allowed to replace a failed unit.
