Rescued AveoNah, I'd just loosen the manifold bolts, pull the manifold away from the head a bit so it can breathe (you might need to wedge something in there), and see if it'll fire up.

Thank you for the help. I'm having it towed to my work this afternoon and I'm going to try that.
I took out the upstream O2 sensor in the headers, left the cat on, and started her up. Idled like a go cart for 5 seconds before I shut her down. Already ordered a new direct fit cat, thank you for the help!
sounds like you solved the problem. Im not on here as much as I used to be.. sorry, but you went with what I would have suggested.
I'm just thankful for a forum like this.
Just an update:
Old cat was destroyed, pieces down the exhaust pipe. Cleaned it out as best as I could, put new cat in, car kept dying. Muffler is clogged, so disconnected it and car ran fine, except for the fact it sounded like a ricer. I need to order a new muffler to replace it.
Check engine light came on, though after a couple days -.-
I replaced the muffler on my '05 with a Walker from Rockauto this past Summer due to the connector pipe rusting out. This muffler was a perfect fit for the hangers and mid pipe flange. Perhaps a bit high at $100 + shipping, but the easy drop-in replacement made it worth the $$ for me.
That was the EXACT one I was looking at! Thanks for the confirmation. I was looking at that one for the same reason, perfect fit.
