Default I hit a metal plate now my car sounds funny :( ! help

well the other day i was driving and one of those metal plates that covers holes in the road was sticking pretty high up, well i tried going around it but cars were coming the other way nad next minute... bam i hit the metal and it like hit my exhaust.. a few minutes later i her a noise its like a tickering sound, like a tuhuhuhuhuuhu

we thought it was my heat shield but its not, i took that off.

could it be my exhaust gasket where the header bolts on to the head?

the noise only happens when you are in gear and you are accelrating..

and my tires are bald, you can see the thread.. could the thread be making the nooise?

help!! thanks guys

You have an exhaust leak.

As you press on the gas your engine "twists" the exhaust system and makes the newly formed gap larger thus letting more exhaust escape.

Find the broken part and junkyard another one.
