Exhaust Smell in Cabin

[Smally]

Hello, I am new here and a new 986 owner. I got a 2001 2.7 and am a very happy driver. I got a PO430 Code and when the car is up to temperature and running for a while, I get an exhaust smell in the cabin. This also effects the rear trunk switch working. The latch only fails after the car is warmed up and I can smell the same exhaust in the trunk as well. I am looking into replacing the Cats soon. Any info would help.
Thanks very much!

It sounds correct: Soon you'll be replacing a cat... cats...

Run a P0430 search upon this forum... and you'll get loads of information.
