Really? Details on the block? If this compression test comes back shitty I will be extremely interested.
Brain, I don't think it's an exhaust leak because the sound is coming from the tailpipe.
BTW, since I started it this morning, the sound is now noticeable at idle.

I feel like it's too rythmatic to be an exhaust issue.
EDIT: Ok, let's brainstorm - what about the exhaust could it be that would cause it to be directly correlated to RPMs and load?
Could there be something wrong with the valvetrain that would cause it to give good compression numbers but open up an exhaust valve... too early? Causing the farty noise.

I found nothing. The sound is still present, but not any worse. I'm thinking that it always made the noise because the first time I noticed it is the first time I had the top down with it... which is the only time it's noticeable.
I'm thinking it's just the result of a strait pipe exhaust with a resonator.
