Crackly / tinny noise at WOT
I have a metallic crackling noise coming from what sounds like the header area, it only occurs at wide open throttle. Best way to describe it is, rocks rattling in a pipe. The car has tubular headers and a cat back. Had the car up in the air and have not noticed anything loose. All pulleys on the engine are quiet, only time I can replicate the noise is on full throttle. The car has a ATI super damper, I heard of the cars having issues with the stock pulley. The belt tensioner has been replaced in the last 30k miles as well.

I have a header in the car with a 200 cell cat. Seems to be like it also was installed in the last 20k miles. The though has crossed my mind, took a mallet to it and it has no loose honeycomb. Its distinctly up in the firewall area .
