    Help...rough idle, loss of power

    So I was driving home from thanksgiving dinner and my car suddenly began idling roughly. It also was louder and had a significant loss of power. It still runs but I am afraid to drive it anywhere and am getting it towed in the morning. I don't want to get ripped off at the dealership because I am not a motor guru and am wondering if you guys can offer any advice based on these symptoms. Thanks alot and happy thanksgiving. Oh and by the way this is a suburban, my SS is in shop.

    Yeah, makes sense... That's the only reason it's get loud... The exhuast leak that is. Plugged cat will make it run like shit for sure, and can cause a leak..
