Catalytic Converters can get plugged up with pollutants which will increase back pressure on the engine which will affect throttle response and fuel mileage. So you would you get an an improvement by replacing a plugged up catalytic converter.
I think the best thing for you to do right now is to ignore the sport exhaust and concentrate on your catalytic converter. First I would call the nearest dealers and explain your situation and see if there is some way they can do this under the 8/80 emissions warranty without a check engine light. Next I would consider having a local muffler shop replace your existing catalytic converter with a generic one or buying a new down pipe/cat assembly ($669.90 at EEuroParts.com) and installing it yourself.
