I would have to say Header gasket is blown. I just had this happen and thought it was the motor. Try tightening the header bolts and see if it is softer. If so, yank the header off and replace the gasket. Mine runs quiet now.

I honestly cant tell....the flowmasters are too loud o.0
It gets faster as the motor revs though.
I'll get that video as soon as I can find my keys LOL

RE: Ticking under the hood...any ideas on a source?
Okay here are some videos.... You may need to refresh each page a few times to see the full video. I hate how putfile does that...each video is about 5x longer than what putfile shows...
here is the ticking: http://media.putfile.com/ticking-18 ... You hear it loudest w/ a screw drvier on the water pump and upper intake...you can barely even hear it when you put the screwdriver on the LIM by the injectors. It's very quiet over on both valve covers as well.
Anybody else's oil pressure act like this? The needle is on the L when it idles, then goes up when I drive / rev (I assume it's normal) : http://media.putfile.com/oil-pressure-9
thanks!

it sounds like your headers. the way to rule it out is to get your engine warmed up and rev your engine to about 1500rpm at the engine bay look for any red glowing marks on the exhaust pipe#2 smell for any exhaust in the engine bay#3 take a stethiscope and listen at th exhaust header#4pull your manifold of and look for any holes.
