possible bad cat? SS IS FIXED!

I was driving my car today and the change oil light came on. I had just changed the oil about 3 weeks ago so i thought nothing of it especially that it went right out. I got to my destination about 5 more miles down the road and the car started to idle extremely rough, after a few minutes it stopped. I pulled out and started to drive home and the whole car was shaking terribly as if i had a flat tire. I checked and of course i did not have a flat. I pulled over and popped my hood and the whole motor was rocking back and forth as if there was an imaginary person jarring it back and forth. I check the exhaust and there was almost no exhaust coming out it was just sloooooooowly coming out. I tried to continue on my ride home and the car had almost no power whatsoever and i started to get a little bit of a rotten egg smell. BTW the SES light also came on. The car had 2 or 3 cats replaced before i bought it. Does it sound like this cat is shot or clogged and that i may need a new one? In this case would i be better just getting a hi-flow, and if so how much does a cat or a hi-flow cat cost, as i am having trouble finding prices.

Oh yea i wound up having the car towed home.
