It's normal, gut your cats and the smell will go away

Gasoline contains sulfur
Delete your primary cats and the smell will be gone.

I wondered about this for months after I got my car. I too noticed the problem disappeared after I really learned how to "drive" the car.

Now I'm not wondering anymore.

could be the fuel you are using. I have had this with my LS and GS. Switch gas stations and see if it helps. Mine didnt last more than a tank of gas though
