uhh ok.

When I pulled my sho-shop ypipe off, the catalytic brick was sittinginside the housing sideways... really killed some power. Of course gutting it out helped a little bit :p
 
If the main cat was clogged the air wouldent be passing through it. This would cause backpressure to blow off the vac hose on your EGR tube. Believe me.. its happened on both my contours.
 
I always thought the clogging of the cat was a progressive thing. Not happening all at once, but rather over time. If that is the case, I think might be on its way, but I have no frame of reference. But yeah I agree that the car would not be running if the cat was completely clogged.
