rotten egg smell

i just noticed this about 2 weeks ago..or maybe it started 2 weeks ago..

i've been smelling this rotten egg smell/sulfuric fume coming from my coupe whenever the car's been under hard acceleration. i have 16k on the coupe now. does anybody else have this problem or know what it may be?

on my rsx, it had the same problem but the smell was much stronger. took it to acura and confirmed on the rsx forums..it was the catalytic converter which they replaced under warranty. fixed the problem.

i was wondering if this is the same case with the G? if so, would this be covered under warranty? anyone else have a similar problem?

Keep the lid on............!

Generally speaking that smell is caused when your cats are having an issue.
Cats are guaranteed for 5 years so have "Infiniti" check it out under warranty.
