It is the catalytic converters. The rotten egg smell (sulphur) comes from unburnt fuel in the converters. It can be from overfueling, or from a failing catalytic converter. The eventual failure mode is likely to be plugging.
I would get the converters checked. Whatever the warranty period, emissions components have different warranty terms (a federal requirement). Take it to a dealer.

Agree with all the above. Cat's gone bad give you a nice egg like smell under full throttle.

def cats. but it may have been caused by another problem like a bad fuel injector or something that is allowing to much fuel to not be burned and sending it into the cat and ruining it or maybe just your cat. could be software to.
