1991 Toyota Tercel 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 156880 miles

I have had a couple of problems with the car, which is to be expected since the car is 16 years old. I had the head gaskets fixed about two and a half months ago. It was fine for a while, but about two weeks ago it started making a noise from the manifold. I took my car in three days ago. My mechanic found half a gasket and the problem was solved. It was fine until I drove it yesterday. I was driving my car about 75 mph on the freeway. I noticed no real change. Five hours later, I noticed that my car was making a loud noise. As I speed up, it makes a loud noise. Once it gets to 35 mph, it lowers down to the point where I don't notice it. Once I come to a stop I don't hear it again. Then when I speed up again, it comes back. It's really loud. The best way I can describe it is like an old VW Beattle speeding up. I'm afraid I messed up my engine. Help please!

My brother said that it came from the exhaust. He said it was loose. One of the bolts was damaged somehow and another just about came off. He was wondering where he could get the bolts to replace on the exhaust. Thank you so much for your help! :)
