03 g35 coupe! I might need a catalyt converter, please read

Well i cam toa conclusion to what i will need and that is a new converter, sometimes when i shift fast or even slow at decsent speed, when i come to a complete stop the outside sometimes inside smells like rotten eggs

now my question is much would dat cost, i also have a complete exhaust on it, i dont know if that matter..

What is the price on this part with labor.

never heard of a catalytic converter making an egg smell,they usually rattle when they go bad and ive never heard of one going bad on a G..id change the cabin filter first,if you still think its the converter i beleive its in the midpipe..check the exhaust classifieds..and you can do the labor yourself..its all bolt on

I think the egg smell is normal and a sign of a perfectly working catalytic converter, especially following those newer toyota camry's that suddenly steps on it.

If anything a sulfur smell would be from the cat (you have two by the way). How is your mpg and performance?

It won't be from the cabin filter.
