At first it was loud, and now it's really loud

Good evening guys, I was on my way home from work tonight and suddenly my exhaust doubled it's volume. At first it was as loud as say... a lawnmower. Now this thing rivals the exhaust of a motorcycle. It's idling okay, revs okay, everything seems fine, only now I can't hear myself talk inside this car.

Exhaust leak?

Alright. I guess I'll bring it into the shop and see what can be done. Thanks for the swift reply schaft

Strap in,hold on.grab yer wallet..it may get rough!

Mine did this when the cat overheated and blew out the back

The gasket between the cats and the pre_silencer goes bad all the time. Muffler shop should be able to fix it relatively cheep.
