Weird smells

wassup guys and gals,
i was wonderin if anyone here with a stock wrx are experiencing probs with exhaust smelling different. it seems when i open it up a bit after reaching sixty and beyond it starts to kind of smell. almost like unburnt fuel(maybe). doesnt smell like rotten eggs. so i kinda took out scenario of it being my cat. but who know?
asking for help.
Thanks everyone.
