Recetly had a new catalytic converter fitted by Quick Fit one week later and the vehicle has lost a lot of power and speed could this be due to a bad fitting or loose connection?

Has the check engine light come on? If so have the codes read to help determine what's going on. It is possible "Quick Fit" installed the wrong converter or improperly installed it. Bring the vehicle back to them and have them check it out before you spend more money.
