A word of caution.
Do not put a replacement O2 sensor into the cat that a bad(broken) O2 sensor was removed from.
You'll end up with two broken O2 sensors if you do.

If the code is on, he's likely needing a replacement sensor whether he replaces the cat or gets a test pipe.

I just destroyed the second cat this year. The first one blew apart and crushed the O2 sensor. I haven't gotten this one off the car yet, but I definitely hear the death rattle again. I didn't notice a drop in power with this one, but I did notice a little with the last one. As far as I know, there was no damage caused by the cats failing.
