How are you able to smell the cats on full throttle? :-\
When unleaded petrol and catalytic converters first became available they used to sink of sulphur dioxide (rotten eggs) when they were cold because of the high level of sulphur in the fuel in those days.
If you can smell it then you must have high sulphur fuel and cold cats.......

rotten eggs = moisture in the cats.
Italian tune-up?

No experience of this one. :-\

Serious lack of power and poor idle if the CAT is blocked.
If the CAT is dead, it won't purr anymore.

This one makes sense thinking about it. Poodle about 3 miles to work last 1 mile on duel carriageway give it gas and lift off if window open get a lovely eggy smell

Check battery,had that happen to me and was alternator over charging :y

as andy h and 4x4 say. bad eggs smell is h2s04 and is either from sulphur in cheap petrol or gas from the battery. could be the battery itself (sulphated then put on high charge). h2so4 VERY toxic and can be insidious once you have got used to it. treat the car to a tank full of quality super unleaded.

Used to have that with my old PFL, but have never smelt it with the Desmond, even starting from cold and leaving it to idle.
