Default Cats starting to smell after getting on the gas....

Well guys, I'm starting to get the stinky smell after getting on the gas good. I'm thinking that my catalytic converters are on their last legs. I heard that there is a test that the exhaust shops can do on the cats to see their condition. Can anyone elaborate on this?

Also, what are the approximate cost for the replacments? I would do more research but I'm at work right now... Thanks guys.

If the cats are not working it will set a code. That's why we have 4 O2 sensors. Usually the stinky smell is rotten egg like which is H2S and not gasoline.

If it smells like gas maybe it's something else?
