Does it speed up with RPM's?
Sounds like exhaust leak...

+1 on the exhaust leak might have blown out that gasket on the right side header where it meets the h-pipe.

it is worse when its cold and it does speed up with the rpms. but i just had a h-pipe installed and the guy said there was a leak before and he fixed it. do you think it is a loose plug?

I would definitely retorque your plugs. My 2000 sounded like that and it turned out a plug backed out and I blew it out not even going over 2000 rpm. This happened like a month after I got the car and the p.o. said he just changed the plugs too.
