Are you sure it's coming from the top end as it may be a cat heat shield that's come adrift which they invariably do :-/.

Easiest way to be sure is to hold the heatshield with a screwdriver or pliers or something to save you getting burnt when someone else - or yourself - reaches in and blips the throttle pedal.    :y

"sigh"..honestly...like a wimper almost.

Wonder if there is a connection ?
