I have 1997 ford explorer XLT 4.0L SOHC V6. its drive is not smooth. It sounds like, there is a leak in the muffler or catalytic converter (CC). Engine miss at idle, acceleration and car's power is not as it should be for V6.

Shown to local workshop and they suggested to replace the Catalytic converter, both left and right.

Can some one guide what can be the problem. and from where can I get the cheapest CC.
Can we clean the existing CC.

recently changed all spark plugs and cables, changed oil and all filters GAS, AIr, and oil. but problem is still there.
