I can only comment on a similar experience with a 2001 Montana 8 passenger vehicle. While driving on a 4 lane highway and pulling into the inside lane to pass a vehicle while doing 100kph ( about 60 mph ) when stepping on the gas to accelerate for passing, I would notice a shake and what sounded like tiny explosions in the engine. It also may have sounded like the old knocking you used to get before electronic ignition. I found I cured a lot of these problems switching to higher octane gas for about 4 fill-ups then using mid grade gas for the rest of my fill-ups. Even though they state an octane of 87 is adequate, 89, 91 is better, cleaner burning, and better gas mileage. I have 1420,000km on mine and am using 9 liters/100 kilometers which is mostly highway driving.

You may if the noise level is too high. But that is the least of your worries. A defective muffler may cause your death or at the very least an accident. A muffler with a break or hole in it will allow carbon monoxide to enter the passenger compartment of your vehicle, especially if you are driving with the windows up. Carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless gas that kills. This will cause you to feel sleepy and will eventually cause you to loose control of your vehicle. Get the muffler replaced ASAP.

Would a hole in a 98 Toyota corollas mufler cause the car to feel like it wants to stall or like the engine is not getting enough power also is the muffler a single or three part system?
Because of condensation the inside of your muffler, the muffler will begin to deteriorate (rust) over time from the inside. This can and will cause holes in the muffler. Along with the hole (s) the internal structure of the muffler will eventually break apart and plug the muffler, preventing the exhaust gas and the pressure from the engine from exiting the vehicle. This will cause what is called "back pressure" on the engine, causing it to lose power. Extreme example would be "you push the gas pedal to the floor but the car will not go more the 25 miles per hour". I would recommend you have you muffler replace. That should solve your problem.
