97 HX getting bad MPG

i had my car for a year now and for the past few months I have been getting poor MPG around 27. As much as I know HX gets 40+ highway and 36 city. Any idea whats wrong I have SRI and custom exhaust. Before these months i have been getting great MPG. also a month ago my check light came on i forgot the code but it had something to do with the exhaust threshold. a few weeks after i got the code i started up my car and i no longer had the chck light. help please i want to get my awesome mpg back

Re: 97 HX getting bad MPG

might be one or more cat converters clogging up, or bad o2 sensors. does the car run okay power wise?
