You can purchase a Magnaflow Cat from eBay. They sell one rather cheap. Then take it to a shop and they SHOULD do it for around 50 bucks. They'll cut out the old one, weld then new one on and it should be good to go!

I used to own a 3.8L V6 Firebird. I went through a similar ordeal. Except my cat's honeycombs were damaged. Also, that bogged down feeling you get, I kinda got that too, it wouldn't go anywhere after punching it. What I usually had to do was just restart the car and it fixed that problem. But, I never found out the cause.

Good luck man!
