just drove 1/3 across the US; now engine sounds bad!, engine noise Options

[Terzin1]

So I'm not having any issues, yet (knock on wood) with my 95' celi gt but... yesterday I drove like 750 miles from Indiana to Connecticut in it. After letting it sit overnight, the engine sounds like a prop plane, much deeper than it ever had. It sounds like a tank when I accelerate! I changed the oil before I left, even put new front brakes in. I checked the fluids and the only one that looks a bit low is the engine coolant.

I'm concerned it wont make it for the return trip so I want to be sure that I can do anything I need to until I make that trip next week. Any suggestions?

I remember when that happened to mine! lmao came off the dirt after a little off roading and hit a little bump and heard this big wooohhh wooohh type sound. looked under my car after I got to the store with my buddy and mine broke at that same exact spot. I loved the sound of it, especially the small little popping sounds when you let off the gas! still does it a little bit with my new exhaust on since I have no cats now and only have one resonator.

Since it's a 1995, you can just have an exhaust place put new flanges on it and throw a pipe in place of the cat (would be the cheapest solution).
