Brad,
Before replacing the catalytic converter, you may want to you may want to check the oxygen sensor(s). I don't know the Toyota arrangement but most converters are pretty easy to swap out. (On the other hand the oxygen sensors can be a bear and you usually need to get a special tool/socket.). If you replace the converter you should probably replace the sensors too.
I once had a VW Passat with a high-perf V-6. It had 4 catalytic converters that needed to be replaced at a cost of $300 each - ouch!
Take care,
Tom
