When it's running, how does it perform? Any new noises, or general poor performance?

It's hard to make a very educated guess based on the information so far, so take this with a grain of salt.

Sluggish - When it's running, does it feel like when you give it gas, it's really bogging down? Does perform like your top speed is really inhibited? Those *might* be signs of a plugged catalytic converter. I'm just bringing that up because of the noise from rear of car (although catalytic converter is sort of right in the middle of the car, but sound would come from the rear).

That's a stretch, but a maybe. A plugged converter will really hank with your performance pretty badly.
