I've been getting this weird noise coming from the car. I first 
thought that it was due to my cracked exhaust manifold, but after 
installing a header, the sound is still there. Here is the 
description of the noise.

I mostly notice it coming out of the passenger side when I am driving 
along side a wall for the sound to bounce from. I'm not sure if it's 
a wheel problem or an exhaust problem. I first thought that it might 
be a bad connection between the muffler and the pipes connecting it 
since the sound seemed to come when I accelerated. Now without the 
noise from the cracked manifold gone, it sounds to be more of a 
metallic sound. The sound isn't sporadic, but not completely rhythmic 
either.

My thoughts are it is either a brake/disc problem or an exhaust problem.

Do you guys have any idea of what it could be, or things to look out 
for to narrow down the source? Thanks again.
