Default Bad cats?

Well I was unloading a bunch of trash at the street, and I had my truck running. The tailpipes run out the back. It was the most god awful smell. I mix between something sweet and eggs. It was making me sick. The truck doesnt have a ton of power anyways, and at 162k I was thinking they were probly shot anyways. Thoughts?
