Don't forget to check at the h-pipe as well. I had a leak there, that sounded like lifters. Try jarring your exhaust pipes first, and see if it changes pitch a little. That's how I found mine. We were putting on slicks, and had to kick the pipes away, and when I fired it up, the noise was almost gone...

Now that (I think!) things lined up better, my h-pipe was loose.

Good luck!
