Check your exhaust clamps at the H pipe and the mufflers. While you are under there make sure that the exhaust is not coming in contact with anything. That noise will drive you crazy.

Those are 2 of the 3 more common reasons for this type of noise. The 3rd is heat shield vibration. I had it as a metallic rattle in the 1600-1800 RPM range and it was the axle back clamps needing about another 1/4-1/2 turn additional torque.

If it is the heat shield, it will conduct the noise in the pipe and it will sound like it is in the front. Is it a metal on metal noise? Or is it just a noise? You are saying that it goes and comes at a certain rpm so that leads me to believe that it is something drivetrain / exhaust related.

Have you torqued the midpipe and axleback clamps another 1/2 turn or so like I mentioned earlier?
