    You likely broke something in your exhaust system. You might have broken off a connection or punctured part of it.

    Depending on where the puncture is it could impact your ability to pass a state safety/emissions inspection, could cause harmful gasses to accumulate under/inside the vehicle, could impact the vehicle’s performance/mileage, or could do nothing other than make annoying lawnmower sounds.

    I would recommend having a trusted mechanic take a look underneath the car. It’s possible you caused other damage at the same time that just isn’t as noticeable to you and could be a future issue.

    Also, stop driving over curbs. Look for a different exit or practice your breathing and counting to 10.
