So I'm not having any issues, yet (knock on wood) with my 95' celi gt but... yesterday I drove like 750 miles from Indiana to Connecticut in it. After letting it sit overnight, the engine sounds like a prop plane, much deeper than it ever had. It sounds like a tank when I accelerate! I changed the oil before I left, even put new front brakes in. I checked the fluids and the only one that looks a bit low is the engine coolant.
I'm concerned it wont make it for the return trip so I want to be sure that I can do anything I need to until I make that trip next week. Any suggestions?

Sure it aint just an exhaust issue? Usually having deeper sounding engine is exhaust issue related. Did it burn any oil? Coolant clean still? Gauges all read fine? Probably isn't a prob with the engine.

In my opinion it could be your clutch or simply a bearing....or transfer box? differential? Surely a mechanical issue. No rattling??
sounds like you have a break in the exhaust before the muffler. start the car, put your hand over the exhaust outlet to plug it, does it build pressure? I bet it doesn't at all and the rumble changes tone slightly.

I drove it today and it still didn't sound good. My friend whom I am staying with said he heard me pull up even though he was in the shower simply from the sound of the exhaust. Also, I went over a bump and it sounded like something hit on the ground! I'm going to check the exhaust pipes when I get back out there. The car just feels like it rides a little rougher too.
oh and the oil level was still topped off.

my bet is you broke your exhaust at the flex pipe maybe...happened to me...
What I think when you think I care

I've got a similar "booming" sound with certain acceleration, coming from around my firewall. I'm betting exhaust leak at the flex pipe for myself as well. A clunking sound would confirm that theory, seeing as pipe should be bangin' around down there.

I guess the noice must be bad but best thing you can do it try to make it hold with high temp muffler tape and fix it when you get home.
I remember when that happened to mine! lmao came off the dirt after a little off roading and hit a little bump and heard this big wooohhh wooohh type sound. looked under my car after I got to the store with my buddy and mine broke at that same exact spot. I loved the sound of it, especially the small little popping sounds when you let off the gas! still does it a little bit with my new exhaust on since I have no cats now and only have one resonator.
Since it's a 1995, you can just have an exhaust place put new flanges on it and throw a pipe in place of the cat (would be the cheapest solution).

That sucks. I thought it was an exhaust issue. You don't 'have' to get that fixed man. I would simply find/buy something to tie both pieces up to get them off the road and to get them to stay put - not to connect them. Drive it home dude and when you get home, fix it there.

I couldn't find any tape to try and hold the pieces together for the trip back so I just said to hell with it and just now returned to Indiana without fixing anything. For a while when I would go over bumps or potholes I would hear the pipes clang against the road. I hit a particularly large pot hole and hear a giant bang and then nothing more. I'm now missing a section of piping which undoubtably flew off somewhere on i80 in PA!

Time for a custom exhaust! A lot of exhaust shops will install a perf. exhaust cheap at least cat back for around $200 installed. Check into it.

I will, whats the differences in exhaust types? I know not much about them.

on an Naturally Aspirated engine if you arent a light to light drag racer a simple pipe and muffler will do just fine...If you are planning to turbo and launch control beware...that ()%#! will blow ebay mufflers apart!

Junkyard?? Idk man, I don't think this is an issue that is going to cause problems (I may be wrong) it seems like more of an annoyance.
