Everytime i ever smell eggs, its the cat, did they put the correct gasket when they replaced the cat, they gave me one that didnt fit, they didnt have any for legends at Walts, well anyways there was a leak, it sounds almost like a vaccum cleaner.. Thats probably not it, maybe hole in the cat? But you would hear that..

[email protected]! You must be nuts! Nothing at an Acura Dealer is cheaper than just buying it from Schucks, Auto Zone, Napa, or something like that.. Acura dealers overcharge everything they tryed making me pay $80 just to get my code for my bose stock stereo deck, when i took the serial # out myself.. IDK, i dont like em..

I've known this for quite a long time acutally.. Where i live they over charge and there is no reason to even go there, because i know they will give me some bogus quote.. Like this other time they asked $30 to make a key, and they told me they had to call a canada broker to get the pin offsets.. When i just went to Home Depot and payed $1.. haha, look @ your recipe, did you pay $6 for a quality key?! Also $16 isnt such a hot deal for an oil filter.. HAHA I just dont like the dealers, you can get the same quality parts at schucks or any place like that..

True, true, you both bring valid points, but with my experience I always get aftermarket for cheap... I try to find the cheapest product with the best quality.. If OEM was the same price as aftermarket of course i would run all OEM parts because they are authentic stock replacements. The bose speaker is just a dumb question, I would DEFINITELY go with aftermarket speakers over the stock BOSE ones, there cones are weak and the front door speakers can let moisture and ruin the cone.. They are alright for factory speakers but id rather go with some Infinity, JBL, Sony, or any quality aftermarket brand..

P.s. Any OEM parts at Acura Of Lynnwood (WA) is close to double the price i pay for aftermarket parts.. Now answer me this... Would you pay double for OEM rather than after market? Some would, Some wouldn't, it all depends if you have money bustin out your socks..

I will second bl420, its usually the exhaust system when you smell sulfur.. Most of the time its a leak in the catalytic converter that produces the smell. He said its not that.. So its prolly o2 sensors, it could be a leak of some type (oil, radiator, brake fluid) , but they smell a lot different..

Do you have the correct gasket on there? Or has it melted and become deformed.. Because i got my cat done @ Waltz one time, because i didnt want to do it, so they ended up not putting the right gasket and it leaked a lil, and sounded like a go cart. lol.. Probably not it tho?!
