Plugged Cats

I have a 99 F-150 5.4 4X4. I have had a Borla cat-back since 99 and in the past year or so the exhaust has been getting quieter. I suspect plugged cats, and would like to know if anyone knows the symptoms. I don't want to gut them or anything. I also found a pair of cats on ebay, but I don't know if an exhaust shop would be able to weld them back on because they are cut pretty close to the housing. It's ebay item #2430918350 if anyone's interested. Thanks

If your cat are plugged you will lacking power, It will be hard to pick up speed.

I have noticed power loss also. I have priced new cats and am trying to do this the least expensive I can get away with. Thanks for the feedback.
