Get under it and tighten it up a bit. Try and put something on your gas pedal so you can listen to your exhaust from the outside and look for leaks. :shrug:

O and what is your setup.

sounds like an exhaust leak. I had a problem to were it was leaking from the coupling
on the exhaust manifold were the X pipe hooks up to. The bolts came loose it was the ugliest loudest sound ever. It sounded muffled yet loud. Check the bolts that connect to the exhasut manifolds.

dude, get under that thing and look! or if you put the car under serious load that may also help with where it might be coming from.. like going from 1st to 4th and then when you get into 4th at like 1100 rpms, floor the gas! good luck!

thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it, so I finally got a low enough jack and some stands to get under the damn thing, long story short my flange bolt popped off and was basically running on an open header on the left side, tightened it up and now im back to that x pipe/ magnaflow roar!
