TX Help ( o2 censor maybe?)

Hey everyone, i need some help with my car. My problem is that when i maintain the car between 5000-6000 rmp i feel a rough idle( liked clogged). I accelarte and the problem disapears, sometime the cell starts blinking for a few seconds then it goes away. I have a terrible mpg since the problem started. The fist thing i thought was that i could possible have either a bad coil, wire or spark plug, because since i changed them i felt that problem. I took the car with a friend from the club to get it checked and he said the cat was clogged. A few weeks ago i replaced the whole exhaust system and the car is still failing. A few days ago i checked it once again and they told me i had to replace both o2 censors...with what i've said do you guys think it could be the censors or something else? ( bad mileage and exhaust smells like gas) I've been searching through the threads and seen similar problems to what i have. I just wanted to explain my exact problem. I would appreciate any advise. Thanks
