@@BeyondCashed Yes, I figured it out by trial and error. I disconnected the flange between the flex pipe and the "downstream" CAT, just letting the exhaust pipe hang. Then I took it for a very loud test drive. With the exhaust free, it ran perfectly! So I ordered a cheap CAT replacement for about $55 and replaced it. Runs perfectly now. The only consequence was now I have a check engine light, even though I never had one when it was running horribly. Incidentally, the old catalytic converter was very much plugged up, with only a few holes in the honeycomb open. And to answer your question, an OBT scanner will determine which converter is faulty. My problem was the car was not throwing any code, even though it was running terrible.
