Anyone around here know anything about cars? I have a 97 gmc 1500 and yesterday as I was driving it seemed to be louder than normal. As far as I know all the exhaust and pretty much everything else is stock, but it sounded almost like it was straight piped, definitely louder than before. The engine also started "skipping" for lack of a better word, maybe misfiring I guess, not really sure. There was a rattling sound in the exhaust, and I crawled underneath and looked around and that was coming from the catalytic converter. I assume the cat is shot, would that cause any if the other problems? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
