2001 Toyota ECHO w/ 172K miles. Is there a replacement interval for the catalytic converter? Will a clogged converter decrease gas mileage? Is there a way to test the converter other than putting a test pipe in the exhaust system?

It will reduce the volumetric efficiency of the engine in other words the breathing. It will take more fuel to push it.
