Loud humming noise around 2-3k rpms...

I have a 96 5 spd, with a drop in cone filter. Around 2-3 thousand rpms i hear a humming noise comming out of the exhaust. I think it would be the noise from the intake but im not sure, and dont want it to turn out to be a big problem. It acutally sounds kinda nice but im not sure. once im costing and let off the gas a little it gets quite, but the slightest tap on the gas will start the loud hum.

anyone?

Oh good, I had this hum in the same rpms too, only I have a y-pipe, not sure if that'll make a difference...

So now it's muffler buying time; I was thinking about getting the 5th gen muffler (no performance mufflers for me, thank you), any comments?
