Let me make sure I understand you correctly: you're telling me that the exhaust sounds like the engine missing? Or like the engine is muffled? Or like the engine is running underwater? You failed to mention if there was a check engine light or how the exhaust smells.

It sounds like you may have an exhaust leak, Have one of your friends help you, take a rag stuffed it in the tail pipe and then listen where the exhaust is leaking, engine? Underneath the middle? Maybe the muffler?
