Default +1 to the list of things to fix on my car...

So I was going to get lunch and I was enjoying myself but started to realize my car sounded a lot louder. So I got home and peeked underneath, sure enough exhaust leak after the cat. Oh well it sounds good and seems faster (because it's louder ).
