Default Poll for those with high-flow cats...

How many of you get the sulfur smell from your car since the installation of the high flow cats?

Random Tech here and no problems. and I dont use Shell fuels, which tend to be the higher Sulfer fuels here in the SE, and dont use top tier fuels either.

Why do you say that? I always thought top tier fuels were the way to go?

I find top tier fuels have more additives which may clean the engine but hinder performance.

I use the lowest price high volume stations. Tend to use Hess when on the road. or if I find a Sunoco station I use their 94 octane.
