Suggestion: KISS (keep it simple sir) All the evidence you need is in the information you already have. Get it fixed.
"Exhaust, eh? That's what my dad thought it was, also... we looked and noticed that the EXHAUST PIPE SEEMED TO HAVE GONE MISSING," snip: "It's a little incredible to me that this is all that it could be, cause the difference in volume is just insane. And yeah, there's quite a bit of backfiring also." This is what happens when you bypass the muffler by removing a piece of exhaust pipe....get it fixed. Let it be incredible to you but go ahead and replace the pipe anyway. "This sounds pretty plausible to me, are there any other possibilities of what it could be?" No. Bob Stevens '91 WEsty
