could be an exhaust leak....

metal expands as it heats up and closes any gaps. Is it just when it's cold it does it?

Bad cat? A friend of mine had the same kind of noise but not on a stang. His problem was a cat going bad.

Jack the car up & start it when it's cold. Crawl under (safely!!) when it's making the noise & pinpoint the source
