and yes, now that you mention it, the smell seems to be at its worst:

2. also at its worst at relatively higher rpm in lower gears while running back down the steep twisty mountain roads.

I can cruise down the Interstate at 80 mph for hours and not smell it at all.
That sounds like you are overloading the cats. Mine did the same thing on hard acceleration.
