So I just got my hotchkis sway bars installed and in order to install the rears you have to remove the mid pipe and some brace in order to remove the rear sway bar. Well the guy mentioned to me that the gasket could tear due to it melting from the heat of the exhaust but they didn't rip, I watched him remove everything. Now when I turn on my car the exhaust sounds louder now. And when I'm at idle there's a weird rumble/rattle coming from the back of the car and when I accelerate it gets louder. I let go of the gas and it goes away. Could I have an exhaust leak? What could be wrong? Do I need to take it back to the guy to fix it? Thanks.
