Hmmmm,   Im going for a long shot here,   but maybe the catalytic converter 
has become clogged, or is clogged due to it failing.   If your feeling like 
it,  remove the clamp that mates the Downpipe/Cat to the rest of the exhaust 
system.  Separate the two pieces, it takes some wiggling but they will 
separate,  Shine a flashlight in the cat. and see if the insides look all 
melted together and all fu#ked up.  If so, stick a crowbar in there and 
destroy all the inside of the car.  Start the car and run it  a bit to blow 
all of the shit out.  Then reattach it and see if you solved this problem.  
Only do this if your cat is very old and appears to be in bad shape( melted 
inside) because it is illegal for one, and there is no need to ruin a good 
cat converter.   Good LUck bro.
