I will have to try to check mine out soon. It sounds like it is probably the cat itself.

My cats are shot right now, and apart from the terrible noise, Gas mileage went down too... I gotta start working again...
Gas mileage seems to be the same, and as for richer smelling I'm not sure.... I haven't had the truck a long time and really don't pay attention to what my exhaust smells like ;p

Like I said, don't stick your face down there. Like Darren said, on start-up, there is a noticeable difference in smells.
