Catalytic converter and exhaust pipe separated while driving. Cat got red blazing hot. Car lost horse power and later stopped starting. Drilled two holes in it to move it. Car had low horsepower wont go over 45mph on highway cat off it was hollow nothing inside like it was made that way. Put straight pipie on but still no low horsepower. Rpm won't go over 4 maybe 5 in park. Takes time to build up speed but won't hit 35 mph. Car is quite now....please help

check for a plugged exhaust put vacuum gauge on intake and if 15" or below that may be your problem.
