Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg? Sorry!
depending on the miles on the Car it could be the Catalectic Converter, if so the power will be down as well. All the stuffing falls out and blocks the pipes? Also check the exhaust system if it has a small leak somewhere it will sound strange.
Need a bit more details.
Year, engine, service record, filters?,

Mine sounded that way when I bought it. It was a length long gash in the resonator.
Check your exhaust system!
