Thanks guys, hoping that's what it is, as I assume that most alternatives would be worse.
It was towed to the dealership, will let you know what I hear.
I suppose towing to an indy would have been a better decision.. I need to get the upgraded service from AAA that allows for up to 100 miles towing. Dealership was 4 miles "over" the allotted miles, indy would have been much further. I'm guessing it would have still saved my a bunch of $ in the long run, as a better aftermarket pipe and labor would be a bunch cheaper than the OEM plastic one and dealer labor.
Assuming that's what the problem is, of course.
