Engine problem
1997 Nissan Maxima 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 154k miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I recently drove my daughters car and heard the above. Upon limited examination I saw where she had backed into something and pushed and bent the exhaust sytom under the car I am going to have that repaired - my question is would you think the exhaust sytem issue might create the popping sound near the front? Thank you

Did it do it on the gas? turning the wheel? Get the exhaust fixed first, it might fix it.

When on the gas - no popping while turning or at idle

Probably broke a motor mount if it was hit hard enough to bend the exhaust.
