Default muffler

My passenger side muffler dropped. I crunk it up and drove it for 10 minutes when the power dropped. It was making a loud noise at first. No horsepower. It was scaring at first. I couldn't tell if it was the engine or what. I remember another corvette owner telling me his through a rod but he was doing heavy racing. On mine, the oil pressure was just above 40. I thought(hoping) I had a hole in the muffler. 1 hour later, it was just dragging in the neighborhood at 11 pm cst. I didn't have a flashlight and just left the car at my friends house.

Has anyone seen this before?

You should pull your codes to start off, you should be able to do a quick search to figure out how to pull the codes if you dont already know how.

It was late. I'm at work. I have already had a tow truck pick it up from my friends house. Took it back to SNL who put in the Munster clutch. From the sound of it, it seems like the bolts just snapped off. I had two options.

1)Had it towed to my garage in hopes it was a simple fix. Run codes...etc.
2) Take it to a shop.

Towed it to a shop. Hopefully, that was the best decision.

Thanks..
