98 civic ex, multiple problems

I have a knock sensor CEL

When I drive I rev high rpm going from 2nd gear to 3rd. I have to let go of the gas for it to shift correctly

My cars steering wheel shakes a lot and passengers have said my car feels like it
Swerves

I have an exhaust leak near the front of the car


Modifications : lowered, hks springs

197,xxx miles

I was wondering if anyone had solutions to these problems, or have any idea what causes the "swerving" . I do feel it at times.

Also at this point is it even worth it to fix or should I just run it to the ground

The steering wheel shaking is ususally caused from tires not being properly balanced or aligned. That then causes swerving. I have the same issue but you learn to drive with it. But it will wear your tires down. Im just waiting to buy new tires before it fix it (not a smart choice)
