Default Muffler/exaust

Took my 2000 Cherokee sport out mudding yesterday, I'm at stock height with 30" tires, I was doing fine until I accidentally hit some deep ruts and dragged my underside, after I got out of it I heard a rattling type sound and now when I rev it up it sounds kinda like a moped, I thought I saw a crack on the muffler, could that be it? Is this just an exhaust problem?

It runs fine but seems to not accelerate as fast(I gotta give it a bit more gas)

I'm sure nothing g a new exhaust system will not cure......Just look and see what has been affected.

Just hope it wasent that cat if its rattling. But if you can visibly see the crack in the muffler thats probally it.

Sounds like he's restricted the exhaust some how. So.....
