Default Cat Stink.......

So, if I drive my car to work in the morning, and drive it home, and then maybe go to a store or something (each like 10-15 minute rides) and then at the end of the day (or at any point really) open up the motor (doesn't even have to be full bore) for some fun and get the awful catalytic converter stink. How many others notice this? I have no codes stored in my PCM so I doubt I'm running excessively rich ... What do you think?

Actually a better question is, if the cat's are bad it should be under warranty still correct? 43k 1999?

look and see how black the tail pipes are. could be bad gas.........my guess it's running rich. have it checked out by and mechanic before you try to get warranty work, they my say no because of a rich condition.
