Does sound like the inerds of the cat have collapsed and are blocking the exhaust flow! I woudn't go swapping plug wires around by the way. That's really not good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you might want to get your computer checked out and swapping wires can be bad
