The Raptor

It just started yesterday. A gurgling noise at idle, a deep noise in gear -- almost like a 350Z exhaust noise, only rougher. It seems like something is loose or broken. Any ideas?

Climb under the car and take a look.

I ran over something and the impact completely severed the exhaust pipe from the catalytic converter. Pasadena Honda said that it would have to replace the entire exhaust ($750), it's a wear item not under warranty, and suggested a muffler shop spot weld it. That's what I did ($50) and it's good as new.
