Need help with EGR problem I think.....

so as everyone probably already knows...my car has been doggy lately...

n e way...I'm now suspecing the EGR system...if I put ear down by the JWT filter while my car is running...I hear what I can best describe as a drum beat in addition to the normal sucking sound...it does NOT do this right when I start the car up...only after it's warmed up....it sounds really funky...and my car has NEVER made this sound before...

I'm pretty sure the IACV isn't the problem...my car idles fine...the only problem is full throttle acceleration...it feels downright weak....anyone else have any suggestions???
