i had a clogged cat on my 240sx, when the car was warm at wot the car felt like it wanted to go but something was holding it back. my temp guage went a lil higher then normal at stop lights, and was when i got out the car from driving you could hear the cat popping like it wanted to bust, plus it was extremely hot. it eventually overheated due to the cat being clogged, i cleared it and everything was fine.

You can easily check your cat with a back pressure gauge.
