I had same problem
especially when releasing gas at high RPMs I heard same sound (oh shEEt, I finally screwed my tranny - thought I....)
but what it was is the heatshield that touches the pipes and therefore producing this weird sound...it is just bend so either jack up your car and straighten it yourself or have dealer fix it, but it's a 5 minute job so I suggest DIY
you'll see it when you lift the car....I was quessing how did I manage to do that, my thought is owning deep snowy parking lots
