I take it you still have the stock exhaust since you are in california? Cats are probably clogged pretty bad by now which can cause bad gas mileage and low power.

You won't pass emission and it is illegal to drive in cali with out emssions.. so you could get your car impounded if you drive with no cat.

Have you replaced you o2 sensor, and air filter recently?
