Exhaust System Concerns
- Odor (Sulfur, Rotten Egg Smell)

NOTE: A slight sulfur smell may be normal. Catalysts with less than 8,000-16,000 kilometers (5,000-10,000 miles) (new vehicle or replaced catalyst) are likely to have a sulfur smell due to the highly active state of new catalysts. Replacing the catalyst can actually make the symptom worse.
