muffler problem

[craziesteve]

Well I am not sure where I mentioned it here or at another board. Moving on.... a while ago my friend told me I had a muffler leak. I looked for it and couldnt find it and left it as it. But today my mom took it to work in the snow because she HAD to go there. I hate her driving it though and now she says it is really loud. So, I dont know much about cars. Could driving in the snow a little bit and getting stuck make it worse? I guess I need advice of what really to do that doesnt involve duct tape, or take it to a shop. But if they do say I need whatever, am I beter off waiting and buying the part froma different dealer instead of the part they use?


Thanks for any help,
steve
