Loud exhaust noise from front end of 2000 Prizm?

Loud exhaust noise from the front end is usually caused by one of several problems. The exhaust manifold gasket could be blown, the doughnut gasket could be bad, or there could be a crack in the exhaust itself.

OBD II P0420, Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold.

Can replacing the flange gasket to exhaust manifold clear a p0420?

Not likely because: Code p0420 refers to a problem with your catalytic converter. The engine computer is able to test that converter by using an oxygen sensor before and after the converter. The computer can only test the converter under very specific driving conditions. If the computer determines that it is a good time to test the catalytic converter it will run the test. It compares the oxygen sensor readings in front of the converter to the readings behind the converter to see if the catalytic converter is functioning properly. If it is not functioning properly it will trigger a p0420. Sometimes if a catalytic converter is on the virge of failing it may fail one test and pass the next. This will cause your check engine light to come off and on every once in a while when the test is performed.

What is DTC PO420 on a 2000 Camaro?

P0420 usually points to a failed catalytic converter, if the exhaust system is intact, that is. Exhaust leaks in front of a catalytic converter can affect the O2 readings and at times throw a false code. P0141 indicates only the heater circuit of the o2 sensor has a problem. Usually it's the element in the sensor, and replacing the sensor would fix that, but it doesn't rule out a harness issue or a short in the wiring
