Have looked at your whole exhaust? Something may have come loose and is creating the noise.

I agree, I rec first looking for an exhaust leak where exhaust manifold mates to the cylinder head.
Mechanic's stethoscope, or, move some toilet paper along the mating surface and see if it is blown by exhaust leak.

Probably the exhaust as previously stated. This is a good video explaining it on a Hemi, it will be similar for the 4.7.
