how about your coils? failing coils can cause a cat to go bad which can cause an engine to go bad. more info is needed. the cat is warrantied but you might be out

How many total miles on car?
next time the CEL comes on, go to an Autozone and have the code pulled.
Could ba an 02 sensor, or a misfire from a bad coil. hard to say without the code.

It still is in the memory chip.
Read it.
Cel flashing is common. It's a misfire.
Car runs too rich from factory.
If you had an exhaust leak after the O2 sensor you should be okay. Before the sensor the the car ECU would cause all sorts of problems and a cel as it try's to compensate for wrong fuel mixture.
Any leak can be heard and or smelled.
