Gutting a cat or removing it is illegal.
But you could drop exhaust down a little for a test run if no body is looking.
Any check engine lights?
Tune up history?
A vacume gauge or back pressure gauge will spot a stoped up cat.
Check engine vacume at idle and at 2K and report back reading.
Tips on getting a good answer to your questions.
People trying to answer your question do not have a crystal ball.
So give them all of the info you have like year make and model and engine and transmission.
Also service cars engine and transmission service history or any recent repairs or problems.
Also a description of your problem and what it is doing or not doing.
If you have codes give up the code no.
And remember a code does not say replace the part but only points to the problem that you have to check out.
So to better help you give up all of the info you have on it.
