Replace it or eliminate it...soon it will choke your engine.

And afterward I would drive it a while, then pull the plugs to see if they are clean and white or light beige; hopefully not dark in color. The converter can run super hot if the mixture is too rich. Then its internal matrix can fracture, and the pieces can clog up the flow of gases.
