Default Exhaust Got Quieter???

I own a 2001 TA WS6. I have a Flowmaster exhaust with a cut-out. I installed the cut-out about 4 months ago. It was loud and sounded great, until 3 days ago. For some reason the car feels under powered, and quieter. It almost feels like there is no torque in the car. Also, to give some relation ... I drive around town at 50mph (4th gear), but the last three days I feel like I should be in 3rd. I usually engine brake and lately it just seems like the lower gear doesn't slow the car any. Any ideas? Anybody else ever experience a similar problem? Any help or advise would be great!!!

Clogged cat.

It'll quiet your exhaust, kill your power, and hurt fuel economy.

Get it fixed.

How much would something like that cost to fix? Anyone else ever experience this situation?
