Smells problem
2005 Chevy Corvette Two Wheel Drive Automatic

my 05 corvette has a weird smell when you put the gas to it, I just had it at the shop they replaced the cabin filter but I still have that smell on when I step on the gas hard. It runs great they ran it through the codes. I thought it was my catalytic converter can u help me?

If it smells like rotten eggs. It's most likely your catalytic converter, you're going to have to check the fuel mixture or running rich, this is what is causing the smell, it could be due to an exhaust leak which draws air into the system effectively fooling the computer to add to much gas.
