SOURCE: 2003 escape idling to high, exhaust pipes turning orange red, not cataylic

Your escape is a 3.0L duratec motor. Is the motor itself overheating or just the pipes? The high idle is often related to a dirty Idle Air Control module or IAC, which is located on the top of the motor near the throttle body. If you clean this, or replace it, after a few days the high idle is often times solved.

SOURCE: Ran over a large rock

Thats the flex pipe probably attached to your converter. This type of pipe is used because of how the engine sits in the engine compartment and is used to reduce stress on the exhaust system. This can be done at home but it requires wielding skills. The piece you need is the flex joint. If you have not done this before I might recommend you have some assistance with it. With the Downpipe, Flexpipe and Catalytic Converter all being one piece and only needing the flex joint it will take two or three hours.

Testimonial: "Great solid information on the exhaust system flex pipe to the converter issue and what a repair will entail. Thanks for your excellent help."

My 2003 crown vic is making a loud noise from the top of the motor towards the back drivers side i have already changed the exhaust manifold gasket on that side

You changed the exhaust manifold gasket. Did you take a look at the exhaust pipe, the end connections into the exhaust manifold, and the connections into the catalytic converter? There could be a small hole that that is large enough for the sound to be heard. If you don't know what to look for, have a mechanic look over the entire exhaust system for you. You may be surprised at what they may find.

WHERE TO LOOK FOR EXHAUST LEAK

There are several areas to check for possible exhaust leaks. i will list them below.

1. Exhaust manifold gaskets - This will be the most common area. There is a gasket that separates the block from the exhaust manifold. these gaskets can fail, thus, causing a exhaust leak at the manifold.

2. Lower manifold gasket(donut gasket) - This will be a possible leak spot as well. This small circular gasket is placed in between the upper exhaust pie and the lower side of the manifold. It basically separates the pipe from the exhaust manifold.

3. Exhaust pipe - The entire pipe can rust overtime, thus, creating small holes along the pipe structure. These holes will cause the exhaust to leak ,thus, filling the vehicle will moderate fumes and causing louder than normal engine sounds during revving.

4. Muffler - This component can also deteriorate to the point that it cannot filter out the noise. It will also cause leaks as well.

You will find the leak in one or all of the areas stated above in the list.

There is a small hole at the back bottom of a new muffler for my 2003 Cavalier. I'm told this is a venting hole that now comes with all mufflers. Is this true?

yep its true !! take my word for it its to release moisture that build up during cold starts that use to get trapped in the exhaust and cause early failures of mufflers and pipe

There does not have to be a visible hole for these symptoms to occur. You probably do need a new muffler. The rough idle sould subside when the new muffler is installed.

A sputter sound when i turn my jeep on also it

Which engine? The 4.0 liter inline 6 has a long standing problem with cracked exhaust manifolds. I would crawl underneath when the engine and exhaust pipes are cool and check for holes. Might a, O2 sensor plug gotten knocked loose during the oil change? The engine computer uses the O2 sensors to help set fuel ratio. If they aren't working right the exhaust could smell stronger.
