peeyu. whats the smell?

Ive owned 2 fd's now to my dismay, (accident with the first, but things happen for a reason) and just recently my black one started stinking. I think it may be the catalytic converter. The red one i owned did the same and it never crossed my mind-"hey, im still running the stock cat!" could this be?, it smells like a burning sulfer kinda smell and it usually occurs when the engine is at running temperature and at very slow traffic speeds. Just my thought> lemme know if you have others.

does it have the stock precat too. maybe they are both clogged up and leaking also and it is seeping into your car.
