[DML] Re: Burnout and new sound

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The reason I mention an exhaust leak is that under extreme
acceleration the motor will twist in the mounts. The exhaust system
must flex to stay connected. It is possible that under these
conditions a failing component fails. It is likely you had the exhaust
leak all along but this "stunt" finished it off. Noises are
notoriously difficult to diagnose in person, let alone over the
internet. Consider this a "best guess" under the circumstances
explained. It is nothing more than a starting point for you
investigation. Bang on the side of the muffler and if you hear
something loose inside it is likely a baffle came loose. The catalytic
converter acts like a muffler too. If you don't have it the car will
be a little louder. There are gaskets in the exhaust system in places
between the manifolds and the cross-over pipe. You could also have
some broken bolts, studs, clamps, or hangers. A complete visual
inspection of the exhaust system would be a good place to start.
Another place to look is to make sure you didn't destroy any engine or
transmission mounts.
