Rotten egg smell is most likely a bad cat. Mine smelled like that before I replaced it. Does it rattle any? Mine rattled too. I bought a brand new magna flow high flow cat off of some Ebay store for around $40 shipped (new). I'm surprised it's bad though after only 64K miles. Seems like it should last longer than that.

When my Cat went bad (stopped up) I just hollowed it out and put it back on the truck with no problems.

well scratch the cat I took it off and drained my gas tank filled it up with fresh 93 octan and a couple bottels of heet to make sure there was'nt ant water in the fuel system. When I took the cat off it was clean so I guess it was bad gas. any way removeing the cat gave me some extra ponys, I'm haveing a flowmaster exhaust put on next week thanks for the help guys.
