Default CAT questions?

I finally took the my car to my fiance's brother's car shop to have him check out my car to figure out where that rotten egg smell comes from when i accelerate real hard.

He said it was my CAT and that since i have it under warranty to bring it to the Dealership to have them replace it.
So i brought it to the dealership by my home (Manfredi Dealership in Brooklyn) and they came up w/ the same conclusion. They said they will call me when the part came in. While i was waiting, I noticed that there was a sign posted that said "$80 per hour for labor".

Accck...that's alot of $$$....i was thinking if i could ask them for the part itself and just have my fiance's bro install it for Free, but i doubt they would do that.

So would it be more productive to just not do it and live w/ it?

or

Since i plan on upgrading my exhaust anyway (within 6-12 months)...wouldnt it be better to just use the $$$ for a new exhaust rather than pay them to just replace the stock CAT. I figured this would resolve the problem also...

just ask for the cat. they can't say no because it's under waranty and they are required to give it to you or they'd be breaching a contract or something (maybe). just ask. you never know.

You can ask, but they will probably say "no". If there is a problem with the new part it could be the way it was handled on installation. If they install a part (or even supply a part) under Warranty it means Subaru is paying for it and the old part may need to be returned to Subaru.

Why cause more work for you or your brother-in-law? Warranty means they will fix it, labor included.
