Well it sounds likes there's a hole or something in the exaust, so i went under there and checked it out....no holes...and all the blots look nice and snug, only thing i found was a few "hangers" off their hooks and i put em back...it sounds like it's coming from somewhere around the cat area...

i recently just installed a new tranny...worked with the linkage...maybe it damaged the exhaust pipe somehow?...other recent work ive done:
oil change
cleaned out throttle body with sea foam spray thingy....

well from my previous experience...ive heard this very same sound when i had a hole in my muffler in a previous car...i thought i had it for shure...but no holes!...ill try tightening all the bolts under there again to see if i missed onel....but anything i missed?...can a bad cat actually make that ugly noise (sounds like a rice exhaust)...it seriously sounds like an air leak....any way to find excatly where the leak is coming from? i dont wanna spend 300$ In midas i just wanna buy the part and install it myself...
any help would be greatly appreciated

i learned today that its probably the b pipe, how much do these run for?

The b-pipe on my 98 is rusting out like whoa already. I'd bet its an exhaust leak.
