Q: Exhaust problems

asked by on August 14, 2016

My car's exhaust system makes a loud sound when coming of the accelerator even after I replaced the muffler I think it may be the cataylic converter because it stalls and won't accelerate when I hit the accelerator

My car has 180000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
