Turns out it was a rotten flex pipe and not a clogged cat! :whew: Took it to a muffler shop and they had it repaired in about an hour. The guy only charged me for the part ($35) and installed it for free! Sorry for the (extremely) late update!!! It feels like the car pulls harder now (?) and seems to be getting better gas mileage out of it too.

EDIT: There's a detailed write up on the process HERE for all those willing to DIY and/or just curious about the the process!

That's the first sign of ageing! I totally forgot about it too until I scrolled through all the threads I started. I saw that there were many hits on it so I decided to give it a proper ending.
