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.
