its behind the motor because up front it sounds like it did when i had manifolds i really think its a crack somewhere in the pipe because who ever did the pipes didnt bend them with the seam, its goin to the muffler shop when i get the cash built up, im just loooking for a way to seal it so its not as bad and i wont go crazy listening to it

do you have any seafoam ??
if yes, the pour it into the brake booster vacuum line until the engine dies......make sure the *** end is down wind......and let it sit for about 20 minutes.....crank her up and look for the smoke....you will find any leaks real fast......and you clean the carbon on top of it !!
not sure if being that close to manifolds would work, but you could try some muffler bandage to try and temp plug it off till you can get it fixed
