If it has symptoms that you have, it may be clogged.
What do you mean by 'no back pressure'? If you mean putting your hand by the exhaust outlet, while someone gives it throttle, and not much comes out, it's a good indication it may be clogged.

I guess you meant there's not much pressure coming out the tailpipe, not backpressure. If you rev it, more will come out, but some still comes out at idle of course.
A cat that old often clogs up.

this might be a long shot especially if no codes are being thrown but it might be your MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor. Sounds like the symptoms but check the cat first thats the easiest

nOw thats a new one!
Just drill some holes in the damn thing!
Be careful about the exhaust gasses, and where they are going, OK?
