Your cat converter is definately toast if it smells like eggs and backfires.

a cat system collectsparticles from the exhaust. Asits collection builds up it will burn it off giving the smell of rotten eggs / sulfer. It is normal for all cars to do thisnow and then. It will also trigger the smell on cars that are not driven hardon a regular bassis and then the driver floors it. On going smells could be a bad cat.
