Default Catalytic Converter bad at 170k miles ('97 Accord)

That's the code that's getting tripped on the CEL. Got a 67 (as well as a 14).

Sounds like a good time to get a "hi flow" cat. At the same time, what's up with the failure. Could it have been from having my EGR ports clogged for so long (about 60k miles the CEL was on for the EGR ports).

Whatever the issue is, it's causing my engine to lope at idle. (keeps jumping from 1000 to 2500 RPM on start; 1000 to 1500 RPM after engine warm.)
