help=- engine noise question

A few weeks ago, I noticed a strange noise coming from my engine. The best way I can describe it would be a "deeper" sound when I hit the gas. Its not a different noise, just a little lower. I need to get this checked out. Anyone have any ideas what it could be?

that small leak would probably be hi-pitched. U may just be hearing the stock exhaust. when you give it throttle and be very quet, you can hear a tiny rumble from the stock set-up, at least when my car was stock i could.

At first I thought it might be exhaust, but the sound eminates from the front of the car, not the back. Its a new sound, or its different from what it used to make anyways. ANd since I havent made any changes to my car, i can only partly assume something may be wrong./
