2000 Nissan Xterra Driving down the interstate, suddenly notice that my muffler is loud. Pull into rest stop, and my car sounds like a ghetto fart civic. I didn’t notice and blatently leaky spots, but I haven’t inspected things THAT thoroughly yet. Is the muffler probably just shot or is it more likely that there is a crack/break somewhere? ---

Inspect it more thoroughly. You’ve got a hole somewhere. ---

The drone is so bad, I don’t know how people can deal with fart can exhausts. I guess I’ll have to look harder tonight. ---

You might have blown out your cat or cracked it… I have had one split on me before but it could be anywhere you just have to look and if nothing is leaking you blew out the cat or muffler. ---

Haha I don’t think it started out that big. It definitely wasn’t that obvious at the rest stop. I definitely loled when I found it though. ---
