the car still has a cat on it? i didnt know that. anyways, if its still on the car, with them telling you that they are probably saying its clogged. take it to a muffler shop and have them weld in a test pipe.

thats what i was thinking. i thought that thing didnt have a cat on it. im sure whoever told you was a dumbass and shouldnt be near a car. take it to another autozone or someone with a logger to see whats going on.
