Default heat problem???

when i am in my car, i will get on it a little..like getting on the highway or something, not flooring it,-it gets damn hot in my car (like my heat is on full blast) and there is a funky smell... , as far as i can see nothing is leaking-heater core?

sure...smell and heat...lack of performance...are usually dead giveaways on cats see if yours are under warranty from the factory...they extended it, talk to your dealer

The cold air intake of your car may have to be checked and make sure if the cat is in good condition.My nissan air mass meter has been replaced yesterday because it had some of the similar problems.
