    Shop told me i had an exhaust leak and its kind of coming from the rear manifold header in the back. I ordered new gaskets and will be getting it fixed hopefully tomorrow.

    Its sounds kind of like a bad coupler noise when the RPM's go up or i accelerate but its coming from the rear behind the engine.

    Is it safe to drive?

    Exhaust leak could be bad if you have a hole in your firewall leading to your cabin. Chances of that are slim lmao. If you notice smoke in the cabin of your car, please roll down the windows and stay calm.
