A simple way to test for this prior to removing the cat. You can check pressure at upstream O2 sensor bung or just simply remove the sensors and drive with a hole in the exhaust and see if performance changes.

So yeah as you can see from this picture my cat was indeed clogged. I'm not really sure why its hard for people to believe the Converter was clogged. I posted my issue on reddit to and I was replied with people telling me to check literally everything else. Lol, well sure enough I was correct. It's clogged. So for future knowledge to anyone who comes across this if you have very hot sticky exhaust on top off a less then normal flow of exhaust from the tailpipe at idle and one or multiple downstream O2 sensor codes with reduced power mainly in the higher gear range but in my case it seemed weak everywhere, well then you have a clogged Catalytic Converter.
