exhaust noise behind engine

We are on our way to Stone Mountain Ga with our newly acquired Expedition towing a light trailer (4500 lb)

The truck was doing fine when we began to hear an exhaust noise under a load.

It sounds like a manifold leak but it seems to be coming from directly behind the engine.

There is a crossover tube of some sort coming off the manifold.

I put my hand all around the engine and revved it. I could hear the noise but I could not feel the source.

So it's 5:am in Fayetteville, NC The ford dealership won't open for a while.

Any input would be very much appreciated.

The noise is minor, i could live with it and knock out more miles but I'm affraid of what other harm might come.

if anyone wants to chat: 252-339-63 nine six

wife and baby are not happy......

thanks.

We are dropping $500 at the ford dealership for assorted vac hoses and a coil.

Not so bad.
