Engine noise and lose of power.

Hi guys. Recently my back box snapped off due to corrosion, so I left it for a bit because it sounded ok without it and didn't really have money to sort it out yet. A couple of weeks later I pulled away and the cat seemed to take a lot longer to accelerate and also the engine sounds a lot louder. Now is this due to there being no back box on it?

If you have some tools, check the air filter. You can get a new one for a fiver online... But rich is right. If its even noiser, there maybe another break. A complete new exhaust (without cat- you don't need one usually) you can get delivered to your door for about £55. It is possible to change it on the cheap by driving the car up a high kerb keeping two wheels on the road. Then with some cardboard, a torch and a junior hacksaw you can get under and swap it. But a hoist is much easier. I remember when I was a student...
