Its possible, but I'd check the flex joints. Most likely you'll have to get the pipe from the catalytic converter to the muffler replaced. That cost me $94 at Midas.

might just be a hole or a disconnect somewhere in your exhaust system. the sound is no longer muffled and you hear it louder. if thats the case might not be that expensive. put it on a lift and inspect it from begining to the tale pipe.
i had same problem. loud noise "vvroooooooom". found the hole, cut it out and put in new pipe from resonator to muffler only $20.00. now its dead quiet.

yup i got it fixed at the junk yard for $25.00.. there was a hole in the pipe right behind the muffler... funny thing is.... i went to midas... MOFOS wanted to change everything from mufflier all the way to cat converter.... they were quoting me 480 plus tax.. i told the guy "bring the car down im outta here" then he goes on to tell me... "the regular price is 680.. im giving you a 200 break" i went to junkyard on sunday and the guy there todl me everything is fine in the exhaust.. only that little hole which i got fixed for 25 bux.... called midas headquarters and filed a complaint saying their franchisees are lieing to customers regarding their vehicles...
