Hey guys, going to get the car checked out in a few days but need an idea of what I may be dealing with. About a month ago I was driving around a community that was undergoing heavy construction and had no street lights. As I was turning the corner there was a massive bump on the road which I ran over and in turn, my car landed VERY hard on it after driving over it. I thought to myself ...wow I just F'ed up my exhaust and undercarriage. However, for about a month after that happening, there were no issues.

Now yesterday out of nowhere, my exhaust started making a loud noise on the highway and I could hear a slight rattle under acceleration..kinda sounded like I had an aftermarket exhaust. This morning, exhaust was LOUD. I’m thinking exhaust leak, bent exhaust…but I’m just not sure how bad it could be. Hopefully a few bolts that loosened up or came off..? What’s confusing me is why is my exhaust acting up a month after I hit the bump? what can I expect? Thanks ya’ll.
