Let's gather ourselves here.....

You are upset that your 140K car is not functioning...
You are upset that you have had to pay top dollar to get your car towed...
You are upset that you recently paid top dollar for an exhaust...

Perhaps the installer loosened a hose or a clamp.

In no way, is the exhaust to blame. The exhaust just can't cause the symptoms you are describing.

I feel for you. And I will read all of your posts of lament and frustration.

1. Check all exhaust connections / bolts etc.
2. Check all hoses.

Also, what EXACTLY was replaced exhaust wise? And who installed it?

Your first call should be to the installer AFTER you have inspected visually everything yourself. More times than not the issue is a simple fix.

Like a few have noted, I'd wager a hose popped off based on the sound of things.

Sounds like a hose loosened up, no fault of the exhaust, rather the installer. Should be simply remedied by the installer without involving the dealer. But if you do go that route, do return it to stock.

Why would a hose be lose. I had it done at a muffler shop, and I personally checked the exhaust before the guy put the car down. everything was screwed in correctly.

Lam easily you could have a hose loose by the installer of the mufflers. Listen to these guys because they know their stuff.
