Sounds like the charge piping to the intake manifold blew off it's hard to see did you check that one? It's a pain to get back on also GM used a worm gear drive clamp and they are junk . When you are tuned sounds like a m-80 going off under the hood.

Did you check the charge piping that goes to your TB that can be hard to see. My guess is your piping came off somewhere and you cant see it. I am sure the car is fine.

I had mine pop off once and it was loud as ****. But I had the aftermarket chargepipes on. The people that put it on didn't put it on up far enough but all is well now
