cat converter question
 

i just recently changed my cat converter and now when i drive and stop i smell a burning steel or rotten eggs smell...is it the NEW cat? and it should go away after a day or two"?..

possibly..... is this related to your thread about the burning rubber smell? cause maybe you should just post related questions in there ;)

no...i just posted this one because i just replaced my cat and it passed emmision....but its having that wierd smell...and i was just wondering..if any had the same experience...with the new cat...the mechanic said its possible because its new...

the other burning smell was about my rotors being replace and also having winter tires... i got my summer tires on but i cant tell because i got the cat replaced the same day.....but i try to sniff around the wheels and it doesnt smell as bad...but when i sniff under my car i can smell something really strong

ok sorry. yeah i have heard of new cats causing a smell. i don't know for sure though. i've never actually experienced it first hand

Yes that is the new cat that is making that smell, it is normal for them to do that. The smell will go away after a bit of time.

thanks...

who needs a cat??? go straight pipe..:yeah:

lol. failed emissions here we come ^^^^^^

Not legal, and sounds like ----, plus a $310 ticket for not having it,

20x worse for the enviro...:naughty::naughty:
