I am such a girl... My car (Honda Civic EX, 1998) is making a loud noise from the back... I don't know if that's the exhaust or whatever. But since I know nothing about cars I don't want to be taken advantage of when I go to get it fixed. The noise sounds like a metal rattle. Could it be a hole or something?

Does the noise change tone when you step on the gas?/Are you able to do a visual inspection? Sounds like the insides of the muffler might be rusted out,but if you could look at it or grab the tailpipe and see if its loose, make sure the car has not been started for a while

Thanks a lot. The inside looks rusted, but I didn't visually see a hole.

Does the muffler sound loud?, see no holes but the inside can be rusted out and moving causing the metal rattle,by just tapping on the tailpipe you might here itUnsure
