After aggressively driving through traffic to drop off my mom at her appointment, the car picked up speed quickly until I reached a stop sign just a block from her doctors office. The car had a more deep growl than usual but it didnt pick up as quick as it did before I stopped. I noticed the drivers muffler sounds more deep than the passenger side. Do I have an exhaust leak?
Leaky Exhaust = less performance?

It dosent misfire or anything of that sort. Its as if something is holding the throttle back a bit but the engine is taking in more air than usual. I think I'll have to replace the MAF soon. Correct Me if I'm wrong.

Change your muffler bearings
Rare in the V6.
I don't think my cats are bad. I'll be doing a complete overhaul of the suspension this summer. I might as well rip out the exhaust system and replace it with a new one while I'm down there. After restarting the car, it returned back to normal, but the deep growl is still there. Atleast it dosent sound like a fart canon.

Think of it as a free exhaust mod for now to lighten your spirits
