Long time since I been here last , hope everyone is doing well . I had a odd thing happen yesterday while picking up dinner at pizza place . I stomped the gas a little at traffic light and it seemed the engine / exhaust became a little louder after that . I also noticed a slight power loss too . I wonder if something happened inside one of the mufflers or the exhaust manifold gasket blew in the area where the broken bolt is . Any ideas or questions would be greatly appreciated . Thanks

You can use a mechanic's stethoscope with the car idling to ID a blown exhaust gasket. If you don't have a stethoscope you can use a length of vacuum hose instead.

I didn't think of that , thanks

I found the issue and cut that area off and put a new pipe on . This thing is pretty quiet now
