hmm, might have had a faulty pressure sensor is the system and caused it to over-pressurize....
if you can't see a big hole anywhere and plan on making it work you're going to need to get whatever blew apart, a new reciever/dryer as well a pressure sensor (more than likely) and some diagnosis time as well as charging at a shop setup to do it.

The vents????
If so, its not freon, but rather condensation

If the air is still cold no worries, duh.
you have many options for a "test pipe" which bolts in place of the main cat. You can also hollow out your currect cats. or you can get a "downpipe" which bolts from the exhaust manifold to the end of the main cat (basically a test pipe that eliminates all 3 cats). Last option would be a header and custom pipe that does the above but also eliminates the exhaust manifold. Your car will just get louder and louder with less cats.
