Default Bad smell

Putting my foot into my c6 for 100yds then backing off, i get a bad smell like rotten eggs from exhuast. Smells like my old vette with cats off, any ideas.

Sounds like your cat(s) are going bad. The thing is, they do not go bad on their own. Something elce is making them go bad. Have your engine analyzed to see if there are any codes.
