Catalytic converter is cloged. You will have to replace it.

it shouldn't be the Cat cause if clog, it won't go any futher after a while and your car will get over heat by exhaust not exiting fast enought. What I think is that you should check if there is a problem with camshaft, header, and other engine bay stuff. But It also depents on how u really drive your car in the pass. Good luck and start changing little stuff first.
