I have a smell coming out of the rear. The smell is a rotten age smell. The dealer can't seem to give me an answer. I know it's the Cat but I'm not losing power at all. The dealer want me to keep spending money and throwing parts into it O2 sensors and so on. I need to know would it still be the Cat or something else. Would a tune up help with this or not.

The converter will make that smell. Usually it is the result of a rich fuel mixture. Has the check engine light come on? Have you ever checked to see if the converter is glowing red hot after driving?
