sorry i wasn't able to respond sooner. the fact that the engine operation didn't change when you plugged the tailpipe means that there is an obstruction in the exhaust system, usually it's a clogged catalytic converter or muffler. hopefully the shop diagnoisis is correct. have you removed the converter yet to see if the engine runs better?

side note: don't forget to change the transmission fluid.
