Default Engine is is screwed!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh ****...started in first gear at the light and all of a sudden the engine starts to shake like crazy.... got home and it sounds like all the cylinders are hitting each other but the engine hasn't ceased. It sounds like a Diesel truck! If the timing bet has gone how to I know? I thought the timing belt was changed, DAMN! The engine still stats and runs tho. There is a tremendous loss of power and smoke coming from the bottom of the engine.
Just so you know, I got a full manifold back exhaust (that includes new down pipes) put in 2 days ago, could that be the cause? Is that why the engine is shaking like mad?
Also the pipe that vents the pressure from the valve heads to the intake is busted.....is that a possible culprit?
I need help badly.... This is really gonna cost me.
Thanks for your help.

If it were the timing belt it wouldn't move at all.

Default His timing belt crapped out. If your timing belt stops working you would not be able to drive the

car. It would run most likely but would not move. You drove home so that is not it. Bug's car came to a stop. The timing belt attaches to the cam...which moves the pistons. no worky = no move.

Sorry I couldn't figure it out, but you can rule out the belt.
