weird noises coming from exhaust? (clips)
my 03 GT came with a bassani O/R x-pipe when i bought it and i noticed that every time i accelerated a "whoosh" sound came from the passenger side of the car, its kind of hard to explain... almost like a gust of air was passing under the car but the sound emanated mainly from the passenger side of the car under the passenger side footwell
i thought that the x-pipe itself was leaking so i bought a magnaflow catted x and the sound changed from a "whoosh" noise to a popping rattle i hear this noise every time i accelerate and when i cruise at 1500-2000 rpm
this clip is of the passenger side rattle that i am hearing whilst accelerating
this clip is of a noise that just started occurring recently it seems to be coming from the drivers side of the car and i can hear it all the time whether i am idling or driving, is this noise related to the first rattle?
I'm stumped as to what is causing these noises, i have no CELs, oil looks good, coolant looks good, etc any help identifying these noises would be appreciated

the engine sounds normal (to me at least)
to clarify, the first clip is of a noise that only occurs when under throttle it sounds almost like marbles in a tin can and it comes from under the passenger side footwell
the second clip is of a popping noise that seems to be coming from under the drivers side of the car, it starts happening after the cars been on for a couple of minutes or so and persists whether I'm idling or driving
does anybody have an idea as to what these noises are? coolant looks good, oil looks good, i dont have smoke coming from my exhaust, the car still has power and drives normally, idle is at around 790-810 from a cold start, new COPs, fuel filter, spark plugs, etc
maybe pre-ignition? loose headers or hangers?
