The sound does not happen at idle or cruise, but only on acceleration. At first I thought it might be an exhaust leak, and then I started to get worried about a valvetrain problem or worse detonation. Like I said, I really don't know the difference between those sounds so I'm at a loss. Anyway, here's the video - please let me know what you think.

Sorry - having problems uploading the video.
What engine and heads do you have? What is the compression?
