Did something bad just happen to my car??? HELP!!!
Ok so I just finished washing and polishing my car and decide to go cruise around. I always do that the car is so shiny! Anyway I turn into the same side street I always do,there is a whole on the left side of the street but it's covered by a huge piece of metal(the city does that) and I always go around that metal piece. Today some guys in a truck were unloading stuff of the truck and I had to go over the metal piece. So I slow down and go over the metal and VOOOOMMM!!! No that's not me speeding off it's the sound of the car right after I crossed the hole. I was like what the **** was that and I realized it was my car. As soon as I even tap the gas lightly VVOOOOOMMM. It sound as if though I have custom exhaust which is cool but I'm scared. Maybe something around the airbox loosened or something, cause when I went over the metal sheet there was light shaking. Someone help or something, PLEASE!!!

Is the throttle body at the top right side of the engine bay when looking at it from front of the car?

Don't go OEM!

What on the exhaust? Did you puncture a hole in the flex pipe? Rusted pipes? loose bolts? Find out exactly what it is, and you'll save yourself alot of hassle and money.

I do see that the bottom of the muffler is rusted and flaking off. Tomorrow I'll be out getting prices from some shops and what exactly is wrong with it. I need StainlessSteel components cause Chicago weather is a *****. This is a pretty good opportunity to get a whole new exhaust setup...

make sure it's the whole exhaust tho. I had that problem with an old car i once owned. I took it to a shop where the guy told me i'd need a new muffler, pipes, the whole nine yards. When i actually got under there and looked at it, it turned out to be just one stupid gasket.
cost of new wehaust = $250
cost of gasket = $1.95
cost of new wehaust = $250
cost of gasket = $1.95

It's probably been like that for awhile. Going over the metal piece in the road just amplified it. The sound reflection off of the metal maybe.
