    my guess is there is a cheap glass pack muffler on the car, and the exhaust gas pressure is blowing the glasspack out of the muffler, if so the muffler will get louder other than that, unless it plugs up the exhaust pipe you can change to a quality muffler, or leave it.

    Its the lining from the catalytic converter - not too pricey to get fixed.
