^^, or you may have busted a weld though nothing more than corrosion. Jump under with a torch, and you may be able to see a leak. You should see some black, sooty marks if there is a leak there.

Just check that your gearbox mount hasnt cracked and allowed the engine to sit back a bit. This would change the note of the exhaust. This is situated under the airbox.

Thanks guys. I haven't been able to see anything wrong yet (that said I don't have ramps or a proper light to check things out with).
Golf Loon suggested it might be a misfire... I took it out for a drive last night and this could be the case. One thing concerning me is that there is no check engine light when I start the car. It doesn't even flash on with all the other warnings when I turn it on. Is this normal?

I can't comment as far as a misfire is concerned.
Just thinking (even though it is noticeable at 4.5k), have you left it running and swung your head under there to listen for a leak? Your exhaust still standard? Just saying it would be more difficult to hear inside the cabin, even though there is a distinct "change in sound" above idle.
