Try running a cleaner such as seafoam through the vac intake port on the engine intake manifold. That may help clear up some of the buildup.

if you smell it only after driving hard or hard acceleration. it is normal.
also the delear will only replace the cat under warranty if there is a check engine light related to the cat

I had a battery once create that smell. Of course it was easy to tell, Opening the hood, you could see it was boiling. It was a factory semi clear Honda one.
I knew I had I about 10 to 20 mins before it detonated and 30 miles to go. Course the next morning, it had melted into a squished square shape and the car was dead.
