Sign Muffler
What are signs that you Catalytic Converter is bad.?
First off, I have a 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4x4 with the 4.3L TBI engine. I installed a flowmaster muffler on it about a year ago.
now, I have a real loss of power, occasionally I will get a sulfer smell from the exhaust. She has lost acceleration and she doesnt seem to want to rev or hold the rev very well. She feels bogged down like I am driving into a large wall of air.
How can I tell if its the Cat, or maybe the Muffler, or maybe something worse.
Classic symptoms of a plugged catalytic converter. You may also have a check engine light, with these codes:
P0160 O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
P0161 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)
P0162 O2 Sensor Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 3)
P0163 O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 2 Sensor 3)
P0164 O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank 2 Sensor 3)
P0165 O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 2 Sensor 3)
P0166 O2 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 2 Sensor 3)
P0167 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 3)
or simply:
P1484 Catalytic Converter Overheat Detected A catalyst overheat condition has been detected by the catalyst temperature sensor
With the symptoms you are describing though, 99% sure that will be it.

Sure Signs Your Volkswagen Catalytic Converter Needs Replacing
It took the Clean Air Act to help make passenger cars cleaner. Under the Nixon Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was formed in a bid to help reduce pollution and set standards on vehicle emissions with various legislation passed or amended to bring that about. To that end, beginning in 1975 car manufacturers began to install catalytic converters in a bid to reduce pollution, one of the most important parts related to your vehicle's exhaust system.
Every car engine produces gases which if left untreated can be harmful to the environment. Other than a pure electric vehicle, no passenger car is one hundred percent free of emissions, but some come pretty darn close. Even with all of the modern exhaust systems and engines in place, every car pollutes to some extent.
How Your Catalytic Converter Works
Your vehicle's catalytic converter can be found on its exhaust line inserted between the exhaust manifold and the muffler. Pellets inside the converter work to alter damaging gases into innocuous gases before they leave the tailpipe for open air. Quality standards are lowered if a catalytic converter is damaged or broken, requiring replacement as soon as possible. States with strict emissions testing will fail any car without a functioning catalytic converter in place.
There are four revealing signs which signal when a catalytic converter will soon give out. They are:
Change Your Broken Or Damaged Catalytic Converter
If you see hear or see evidence of any of these signs, then you should change your catalytic converter immediately. A delay on your part could result in a ticket from the police or the failure of your vehicle at inspection.
Weekend mechanics can change their Volkswagen catalytic converter themselves, by ordering parts online. Or, if your mechanic agrees to your proposal, you can buy the part yourself and have him install it for you. If your newer Volkswagen experiences catalytic converter failure, then check your warranty because replacement should be covered. Sometimes converters are damaged by drivers when they hit a pothole while thieves will sometimes make off with them too.
