mk3 something happened

i was racing ym mk3 today and half way down it kind of did something and it is like loud now but i am not sure if it is the head gasket or the exuast, the car doesnt seem like it has lost power but it just seems louder is it possible i just blew a manifold gasket or is it something worse???

ummmm is the car just louder or wat if so sounds like the manafold anyway you look at it racing is bad for your car but so is everything else i race so who cares we are the ones that fix it

i think i blew the catalitic converter or there was shit in my pipes or somewhere cause it sat for a while but it runs great it is just louder

i say its your head gasket.my mkiii project had the same thing happen to it.if you lost power its a diffrent story. oh yeah check your exhuast piping that might be it

yeah i blew the whole damn thing up threw the number one rod down (fuck!!!)
