It only happens when I get into boost, I get this smell in the car. It smells like the sulpher smell when someone first lights a match. I'm not getting a check engine light though.

Anyone else? Any ideas?

How many miles you got on your snake? I'm thinking it's still pretty new huh? You are not the first to report this smell so don't worry. It's just the exhaust (Cats) and it will go away after a while...

Yep, had same thing for quite a while when mine was new. Would sort of come and go untill I finally took a good long trip from San Deigo to New Mexico. Just wait longer.

How old is the Magnaflow CB? All new Exhaust systems usually stink for a couple hundred miles before the residue is fully burnt off

Yep I agree with everyone here, that sounds like the normal smell you get from new exhaust components. Give it a lil time and all will be well
