Check engine light

Hi, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If your check engine light came on suddenly and the car got loud, it sounds like you might have an exhaust leak. A loose or broken exhaust component (like a flex pipe or muffler) can trigger the light and make your car roar like a lion. It’s also possible there’s an issue with the oxygen sensor or catalytic converter, which could affect performance and fuel efficiency. I'd suggest getting the codes read to pinpoint the issue before it gets any louder—literally and figuratively!
