Sulfur smell

About a year ago i smashed my cat in peices and had to get it replaced. Ever since the replacement, my car "farts" a sulfur like smell. Any ideas what this might be?

You'll generate a lot of sulfur dioxide with either a new cat (from excess catalyst) or when the cat gets very hot (usually from a lean mixture).
