All:

Someone at work told me Honda Accord & CRV has very bad smell like rotten
eggs from exhaust system. They said it may be something wrong with catalyst
converter, anyone knows about it?

Thanks

Hai,
It's perfectly normal for your vehicle to smell funny for the first
three or four minutes before it's warmed up. Some cars are worse than
others. Some _fuels_ are worse too. Were they sniffing your tailpipe
when you arrive, or when you're headed for home??? (rude, eh?)

Curly,

When just came back from lunch and my friend got out the car and smell it.
About 2 weeks later (last Tuesday), other friend told me he hear Honda
Accord may have the catalyst converter problem causing bad smell.

I doubt that the converter is the problem. Generally the sulfur
dioxide smell is emitted from the converter when it is unable to
do what is was designed to do, because a fault in the fuel/air
ratio controller that overloads the converter with unburned
fuel. There are several sources in the closed loop system that
can result in it operating outside of it design parameters. I
would suggest you have the vehicle connected to an engine
analyzed to discover the source of the fault in the closed loop
system and have it corrected.. It could be as simple as a
leaking injector
