Was out on a drive and accelerating then all of a sudden boom! Crazy loud exhaust sound starts coming from my 1.7L. Sounded to me like the muffler fell off but I’ve given it a once over and don’t see anything yet. Wanted to post this video to see f anyone has any feedback on what I might be dealing with here. Afraid this may be the 1st big problem I’m dealing with here.

Here’s a link to the video I uploaded.
