What year is your car cause I have 2 cats for sale drivers and passenger side. They are off my 98 and have low mileage on them.

putting the hearders and ory on will clear it up pretty quick. theres really no sense in replacing the bad cat if your just gonna end up taking them off for headers. you're only option for fixing it would be replacing the bad cat. I do find it odd that its running as well as you say with a "clogged" cat. it should be down on power/tq. id imagine...
