its my friends mower, but when im drivin it around it has a small surge, its not enough to drtasticly cut speed but its noticeable, and the muffler box broke off of it so it pops when it re-accelerates, could the broken exaust cause this? im not sure what to do

Exhaust may be part of the problem, not enough back pressure. Can burn a valve also. Usually a surge means it is running lean, not getting enough gas.

Replacing the muffler may help the lean condition.

Removing/changing a muffler increases airflow which affects mixture, as do modifications to the intake and carb.

Be prepared to do the exhaust valve fairly soon.
