the only time i have seen this is when the exhaust is blocked or weak. back fire would not normally do this. replace the muffler as you say. and check that the timing lines are in the right place. have you had engine management light come on at any time while driving. if time ok and engine has no lumps while driving then it would just be the muffler fault.
Quite honestly, seek out a trusted muffler repair shop nearest you. They may have to replace if it is too rusted ($100-$150?) or with any luck they can weld it back into place ($25). Not dangerous (unless it falls off) but definately annoying!!
Sounds like you may have gotten some debris in your exhaust pipe or something was clogging your muffler. Maybe the innerds of you Catalytic Coverter went and got stuck or the innerds of your muffler gave out. That would be the only few things I could think of to cause something like that.
Good Day,
It would make sense that it is suspension related as it does not make noise at idle but going down the road it does. I would lean towards it being a bad wheel bearing. Does it sound like it's coming from one side or the other? Also how many miles on the car? Does it get louder when the wheels are turning?
You can check the bearing easily by jacking up that wheel and moving it side to side and up down checking for play, a little bit of play is normal.
