Did you checked the flexible part on the exhaust manifold? Sounds like an exhaust leak! Those things have the bad habit of ripping apart after a while!

its most definitely an exhaust leak. good thing is, the first time you pull the exhaust its a real PITA but after you do it a few times its super easy. (getting the header past the sway bar can be a chore if you don't have the car on a lift or don't maneuver it from the right direction. If say try to get the car a foot off of the ground minimum and work at removing the header by sliding in from the front, not sides of the car. If im orienting this correctly in my head, the drivers side of the manifold will barely squeeze through the kink in the sway bar if you put the passenger side as far into the bottom corner engine side of sway bar as possible... i could have that backwards though.. always takes me a few seconds of being under the car to remember which way it is.

When my resonator blew apart, it sounded just like this.
Have the exhaust looked at, sounds like a pipe may have rusted apart.
