#178273 ok so a muffler leak dosent mean you blew a piston you probaly eitehr have arust hole , bad exhaust manifold gasket, or bad donut gasket(the round ring in between the exhaust manifold and the cat....)

your idle could be due to a bad iacv, or a iacv that needs to be cleaned
or you need to bleed your coolant....

#178315 Sounds kind of like a loose FITV too. Check that as well.
