Car loud after going off a jump?

Question

Before you harass me about being irresponsible, I came home to a snow covered driveway (~35-40 degree incline). There is no shoulder on the main road, so my only option was to attempt to go up my driveway. About halfway up, my car stopped and began rolling backwards. Despite slamming on the break and pulling the e-break, it slide down and over a rock ledge about 2 feet.

I drove the car up again on my second try and upon inspection, I'd noticed the front bumper was hanging. I, myself, was able to fix that without any problems (a screw had just come out... it was a matter of pulling the bumper back and screwing it back in). I turned my car again just now and I realize it is extremely loud. It's still running and the check engine light is not on, but I fear this could be a pretty big problem.

Any ideas on what the issue could be?

you may have pulled the exhaust system loose. with it cold, check for leaks at all connection points and look for holes in the system front to back. if not able to isolate it that way then take a pliable hose and run it around the area that is making noise you should be able to find it that way.

loud how? There can be many different noises that come from a car that mean different things. Is it coming from near the engine? Is it loud like there is a hole in the exhaust system?

Chances are you bent the exhaust system, opening a hole or something like that. Get it checked by a mechanic ASAP.

Sounds like the exhaust system has been damaged, which would be consistent of such an incident

first of all in case you have an oil leak you're able to desire to get that fix... in case you turn on your motor vehicle and the oil mild doesnt bypass out with in 3 sec you're then ******* up your engine. each sec once you count quantity to 3 you're starving your motor vehicle of oil with isn't sturdy in case you didnt no,,, fairly undesirable issues will start to ensue on your engine.... and you took out a transmission and put in an previous one and not a sparkling one thats why your motor vehicle jumps i guess you took out a shitty trans and put in yet another shitty one like guy whilst you're taking something out on your motor vehicle placed something new in dont placed shitty used stuff in ... and be carefull bc alot of adult men will a million/2 quickly a trans job
