Pinhole inthe Muffler

It could also mean time for a new muffler. They do get louder over time, and also get louder if you drive it hard because of muffler temperature.
A pinhole size leak shouldn't cause a significant increase in loudness, so that's why I'm thinking patching it up might not do anything to help.

fixing the hole with tape can and will work in short term. The hole will become bigger unless it in the drain hole. I tried to tape it way back when ( my own car ) then even welded a patch over it. Eventualy the muffler fell apart around the welded patch. Welding it just slowed it down! Do cars need mufflers LOL it just tells people your coming!
