abnormal loud stock exhaust

In the past 2-3 weeks i have noticed my exhaust is louder and louder in the cabin. It gets to the point where it hurts the ears.

This usually happens @4-5.5k rpm. It is cooler out now, but last winter it wasnt not this loud at all.

Could something be loose? Could it really be the cold weather? Its becoming unbearable and i will be taking it into the dealersoon to be looked at.

Any opinion or ideas why this is would be great!

Sounds like a leak/something is loose. The cold weather would not cause that. You could just crawl under and look, but if you're still under warranty and completely stock(or have a mod friendly dealer) just take it in.

"It gets to the point where it hurts the ears."

This statement is very hard to believe. Even if your exhaust was loose or even partially disconnected. You would have to have a very sensitive ear. If your exhaust was completely disconnected you would certainly know it.

U know what's weird, everyonce in a while, like once a month, when I'm idling in my drive way after a long day of driving, I'd hear some kinda resonance in the car almost like I was going 50mph down the road with my rear windows halfway up. It seems to be coming from the hvac system. I wonder if its the same problem hes having...

No, I took care of that when I bought my radiator insulator, which came with an intercooler radiator for free.
