Probably not but it may make it feel like it's slipping.
Yes.

When cats fail, they usually cause more restriction in the exhaust flow. This can cause your symptoms (except for slipping clutch).

However, a bad cat should throw a DTC. I don't think it's a cat problem but wouldn't swear to it at this point.
Yea, this is where I am too. Im not positive its a slipping clutch, it could have just been a couple of random misfires. I cant believe the noise in that video could be from a broken honeycomb inside a cat. I will verify with the garden hose idea before I replace anything.

Looks like I will be buying some high flow cats and if this doesn't fix the problem, back to the dealer. I just feel like the noise is coming from in front of the cats. I could be wrong though. Dealer quoted $2200 for them to do it.
