Check were the exhaust manifold meets the first pipe there is a gasket that goes in there. See if you have air escaping there. Have you looked all this over? Take a very large screwdriver put one end on the place you hear it from and the other against your ear and see if you can trace it as being in the manifold or in the block. If it doesn't sound like a woodblock then it's probably exhaust.
idk, it sounds bad..the engine runs good and everything, it just...sounds bad, i dont wanna run it or drive it! ill check the exhaust tomorrow..see if it's that, maybe it spring a leak from all the gas being pushed through there when it started efffffing up!
