For the love of all that is understandable, please use punctuation marks. Seriously! Your posts make my eyes bleed.
Puncuation marks help us know when one statement starts and ends. It helps order your thoughts. I have to believe you don't just crap out words when you speak, so please try not to when you write.
Now. To your problem. Gonna assume you are young and new to cars. 1. Your "rotten egg" smell is sulfur, which is a usually a by product of the combustion gases passing through your catalytic converter, where a chemical reaction takes place to covert the harmful gases into more innocuous gases. The smell is a by product. Reducing your acceleration and driving style will reduce it. Changing the angle of your exhaust will also impact it. The "sulfur" content of your fuel and various other variables will impact it. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Note: The grade of fuel will not likely impact this. You are kinda wasting money. You are probably experiencing the so called "placebo" effect, in which you want to believe there is a difference and so you mentally "find" it. You are wasting money by running 93 octane, fyi.
If it really irritates you, you can adjust your exhaust to the side. This appears to be a good way of dealing with it.
Also. Again, your grammar and punctuation are painful to read, please at least do a cursory check before you post. No one expects perfection on here and we are not asking for it, but I mean, come on. Put a little effort into it. It makes it hard to figure out what you are even asking.

Haven't smelled my exhaust's egg smell since I got this installed. It's worth it

I don't have any sulfer smell, but I like that tip. Do you have any more information you could provide on it like who makes it and where can it be found?

Yes, I have 20" Enkei wheels, which appears to answer your question....or was that a statement, comment, or terribly long run-on sentence? Lord knows I can't figure it out, even though I read it four times.
