At first it was loud, and now it's really loud
88 rx7 NA

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.

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