Default Blocked exaust causing problems?

Hey,

I would love to get some advice. My gs is showing signs of age at over 100 K miles when before it showed nothing but flawless lexus quality. The torque/power/ or pickup which you might know is a bonus in the gs, has seemed to dissapear and now it does not accelerate so smooth and powerful at all. I am worried about something being blocked in the exaust, something got into your catalytic converter ? HAve you heard of this? Does someone understand about this.? Or recogise another reason for this?

(I don't have any mods in the engine/exaust,, etc.)
I am anxiously waiting to find out, cause i hate it being in bad shape, don't wanna have to give up and sell it

Good luck thanks,
