Rotten Egg Smell
I have a 2000 CC 5.4 SD and I am having that nice Rotten Egg smell. I know its associated with the catylitic converter but does that mean it is clogged or it is clogging? Should I remove it all toghether and put in a high flow when its time for Emissions or are there any gas additives for Cats? I am running 1 3" Flowmaster with a single forward right wheel tailpipe.

Rotten egg smell can come from H2S (hydrogen sulfide). The sulfur in an organic form in the gasoline or diesel fuel will react to H2S. It doesn't take much H2S (miniscule will do) to smell what your smelling. Also the smell your smell and mine comes from the sulfurous molecules in our foods that get emmitted out of the exhaust. No not the trucks!!!
