car almost dies when gives little revs and also runnin rich. help?

hi i just finished to day with puttin on my hooker cat back on, it sounds great but when i went to give it a little rev it almost died and when i brought the rpms up to give it a rev it was acting weird. also i have a exuast leak from the cat which i know where the leak is. so like is that leak a problem like when i go to rev it. also could it be just the exuast breakin in but like it smells kinda rich and like a roten egg kinda smell i think that smell is from the cat breakin in becuz its a new catco cat. also does anyone think that timin could be off a little when i go to rev it. like the timin under the timing chain cover. someone please help thanx.
