sorry
if you get a deep note when its under 5800 it might be a hole or split in the exhaust, if its only above 5800 then it might just be the exhaust being worn in fully (and with mivec engaging) thats doing it, or with a hole as well....

dunno
do you get a rattly buzzing sound around 4500?

the rattling/buzzing sound could be the flex pipe,.. try switching to a double-braided one and it also makes the engine noise around the front of the car a lot quieter.

er im in my own world a bit today
go to an exhaust shop its just he part that goes between the extractors and the cat...it flexes when the engine revs so ya exhaust doesnt snap off... about $300 i think.
