exhaust bubble..? and whistling noise UPDATE
Ok so my friend ran my car straight into the curb yesterday, and there was no damage so it was cool, but the next run i did whenever i accelerate there is this whistling sound kind of like a turbo on a real car, but the more i accelerate the higher pitch it gets. What do you guys think?
And question number 2 I was looking at my car today (Tornado BB) and i noticed that right before the exhaust pipe goes into the blue sleeve to the header there is what appears to be a large bubble, what do you think this coudl have been caused from? Its been staying mostly in the 200-230 range for temp.

RE: exhaust bubble..? and whistling noise
so you guys were right before i read these after i took it out ran it for about ten minutes and then it got really loud, and now their is a big hole in my exhaust. It must have been running hot but when i took the temp it was never over 235 and when it got that high i would richen it, but perhaps it happened in the middle of a run before i could get a temp of it. Thanks for all the responses guys, oh and the whistling stopped too.......anyone reccomend a new pipe? or do you think redcat would replace it? I have had the car for four days.
