Question on catalytic converters

I'm about ready to put some on. Seems no matter how well I tune the car, the exhaust smell is pretty bothersome (not like raw fuel, just bad exhaust fumes that seem to permeate everything).

Has anyone used CATco cats? How did you like them?

Will this get rid of the smell?

I have the Catco dual cat pre-fabbed setup on my 91. I love it....car runs EXACTLY the same as before with the dual Random Tech. cats, just ALOT cheaper. My dad has them on his GTA as well....never any problems. Hope this helps.......

That "rotten egg" smell is normal under some conditions, Like not getting the car and exhaust up to temperature. Catco cat works for me, just get the direct fit model for your car and not the universal one.
