Something'* Up with Exhaust
When I accelerate over 2000 rpm my exhaust starts growling and not in a good way it sounds raggedy. I put the car in park and pressed on the gas and it sounds like there'* something loose inside of my exhaust system, like a ball thats causes a pinging noise. i think its my converter, but I'm not sure. Could anyone help? Does an damaged exhaust system give you a poor fuel mileage?

I missed this thread when you originally posted it.
I had a similar issue on my old 93 SE. It ended up being the heat sheild over the muffler. Two of the srews were missing...so I screwed it back up and the noise never resurfaced.
I doubt you fixed this sound by replacing the air filter. :? It probably coincedentaly hasn't reoccured.

Agreed Vital. If the sound was exhaust and ...let'* say for example it was some loose honeycombs in the catalytic converter..they could have wedged somehow and now the noise is gone.
It'll be back if that'* the case.
