I highly doubt it is a problem with your cat, more likely the exhaust manifold gasket or turbo exhaust gasket etc has gone.

Yeah its a common problem, and no it wont be just a few bolts that need tightening.

Any old exhaust place should be able to do it.

Check the exhaust manifold studs, very common on the R33 GTS-t's, will take you less than 1min to pop your bonnet and look for them.

From memory it cost me $300 to get fixed about 2yrs ago.
