Bad smell from exhaust
guys when I drive my V8 enthusiastically I get a rotten egg smell wafting through the air when I stop and it is detectable if the wind blows the gasses towards the car.
the car has the factory standard cat's
is this smell normal? My other cars don't give of a bad egg smell

I could be the cats. But they're expensive and are just one possible sources of the problem so I can't tell you to gut them. That's up to you. If it were me, I'd do the non-destructive things first like change gas stations, clean injectors.

i can even make up a pipe and remove them completely but I'm concerned with codes and software issues, your advise here will be a great help.
will I see a noticeable difffrence in engine performance with out the cats? And will it be lighter on gas?

I would love to gut them! Can I cut them open and remove all the restrictive material? What will happen with the scensors will it need a resistor or something to stop a code and possibly the motor going into slow mode?

it depends on the year of the car. The later cars, 2012 on I believe, have secondary cats with no sensor and can easily be removed without a tune as the sensors are in the primary cats.

in short we have no dealer support and certainly they do not entertain letting a client work or tinker on his car.
if I want to do a tune I will need to do it and I'm not sure what's involved?
Can you add any details here ?

Cut open the cat pipes remove the inside ****!
I installed the sensors again.
Get a cat delete file or just do what I do Every 4 months when the code comes up I delete the code with a OBD2 Reader.
Done. The car still look original underneath.
