I searched and searched, even googled it, nothing. After anything from 75% to 100% throttle/boost, when I slow or come to a stop right after there is a smell like burning sulfur. could it the Magna flow Cat? or bearning too lean, doesn't feel like its lean.....

Exhaust leak? and it is getting into the cabin?

It happened to me in my lancer.

The exhaust leak was at the header to down pipe. And was getting in through a hole we did not coat with a rubber bung. Super small hole but big big smell.

Just sharing my experience.

Good Luck.

One Love,

Ghasty

Sounds like it's your exhaust.. do you still have the catalytic converter?
