CD skipping sound under moderate acceleration

[batchetb]

Hey there. Was cruising the other day and heard what sounded like a CD skipping while I was on the accelerator, maybe 1/4 - 1/2.

I was in manual mode (cvt on my 2.5 n/a) in 6 when it happened.

Tried to duplicate, later off the highway, and sure enough with about 1/4 to 1/2 throttle around 2k-2.5k rpm this odd CD skipping sound happens. No CD’s are in the car. Radio was off.

 

Has anyone had / heard of this?

 

Of course I just cracked 150k miles. Really hope I can keep her going and this is nothing serious.

 

Edit: link to video I took yesterday.

Update.

Started to hear my exhaust coming from under the driver side door. Took it to an exhaust shop nearby.

$50 later she’s as good as new. Small crack in the pipe after the header.
