The check engine code said improper caytlist. MY gas mileage is down to 20MPG. There is no backup in the exhaust that I can tell. I have removed the resanator and also replaced the stock muffler with a flowmaster 40 series. Will replaceing the cat converter restore my lost MPG's and take away the check engine light?

1999 Honda Accord cat converter broken up inside,rattleing=obviously its defective, replace it-then have the oxygen sensors checked out and make sure the exhaust is not leaking.

When was the last time you tune-up?
