Cat converter issue mostly comes in JDM vehicles as they are used and second there is a hell difference in petrol quality. The increases amount of lead in so called lead free fuel basically choks the cat. Which causes the issue as said by poster.
I said as I have same experience in my Vitz. It got also choked. High rpms but it can hardly touch 40 kph. By removing cat it got power back.
