Default Cat Converter?

My gas mileage has gone down hill over the past several months and it seems as if there is pressure behind the skinny pedal when I go to get on it. Every once in a while when I give it gas I get a sulfur smell. What do you guys think? My first thought is the converter and it's the original one on there as far as I know.
