Help! Exhaust smell

Ive noticed lately that when im stopped at red lights or parked with the car still running, my car starts to smell bad. Almost like a rotten egg type smell. If i park and turn my car off, you can smell it from the rear of my car, like its coming from the exhaust. What could it be? a bad cat?

I live in Alberta and its currently anywhere from 0 to -20 degrees celsius. Does the cold have anything to do with it?

thanks!

It sounds alright i guess. But it does kinda seem quieter then it should be. And when i shut my car off something rattles for a quick second and then thats it

I have no idea but i am here to learn about this. Did you check for leaks yet? If it is the cats, this could be a great time for upgrades.
