Whenever mine clogged I just lost power. Other signs that I know of concerning a clogged CC is: the rotten egg smell and after driving the car for awhile the converter "glows" from the heat build up. I guess if the catalysist (I think that is what it is called) starts to break up, but is still to big to blow through the exhaust it would rattle.

Knock on it with a knuckle, a clogged cat should rattle.

A guy I used to know had an '83 Camaro 2.8... he asked me once to go for a ride and see what's up with his car. It had no power at all... he'd floor it, and it'd just buzz along like his foot wasn't on the gas. Turned out that yep, it was a clogged cat.
