Welcome to 2CarPros.

It sounds like something is blocking the exhaust. Remove the sensors and see if it makes a difference. If it does, either you got a faulty converter or something was put on wrong.

Take a look through this link. It explains how to test a catalytic converter.

Let me know what you find.
