Choo-Choo train noise from exhaust (i think)

this morning i picked my car up after getting the front of my exhaust fixed from the rock i ran over a couple nights ago. however, my car now makes a choo-choo train sound when i accelerate, almost as if theres another hole somewhere in my exhaust pipe. i picked the car up on the way to work today so the garage wasnt open for the day yet; therefore i wasnt able to ask of the mechanics what the deal is. i know this isn't much info to go w/ but does anyone have any idea what it could be? thanks

It could be your flex pipe...the one that comes right off the bottom of the manifold. Mine does the same thing and I just haven't fixed it yet. Those flex pipes get holes in them all the time...or it could be a bad gasket somewhere.

yo-
good call man, thats exactly what the guy told me it was when i got it looked at last week. he said they're not really vital to get fixed, so i might just put up w/ the annoying noise til i have some loot to fix it. i am gonna look into going aftermarket since ill be spending $$$ on the exhaust either way, so if you or anyone else have any info on exhaust prices and ish, lemme know. thanks for the help w/ the other ? though

peace
