Re: spun bearing or exhaust leak?
Can't tell. All I hear is wind noise. Usually if u have a really small exhaust leak it goes away as the car heats up due to the metal expanding. Does it make noise as soon as you turn it on and then it goes away or is it strictly rpm based?

Re: spun bearing or exhaust leak?
Have you check your oil? if its a spun bearing you will see very small pieces of gray metal mixed with the oil.

Re: spun bearing or exhaust leak?
it gets louder as soon I'm as building up boost but when I slightly remove my foot but keep it at the same rpm it goes away, it's weird I just happened over night but yeah I'll check it, and ima replace my manifold and ima see if that helps

Re: spun bearing or exhaust leak?
Foo.....I already told you its your manifold. When I was there even you herd it. I can hear/feel the exhaust escaping through the center of that Ex manifold.

Re: spun bearing or exhaust leak?
turns out it was just an exhaust leak, went with Wally to go pick up a new-used manifold, replaced it and the noise is gone
