take it to a muffler shop and have them examine, and tighten down the exhaust if it needs it. if its more of a squeek its highly unlikely imo to be exhaust related. i had a pulley problem and when it started squeeking i could hear it all over the car when i tried to examine the problem. instead of taking it to the shop i went to the dealer picked up a belt tensioner pulley, idler pulley and serpentine belt, and that cured my problem. Oh and i put some silicone spray on each of the pulleys after it stopped squeeking just to make sure they were lubed up. when its cold out, i still get a slightly squeek when i first start up but it goes away after a minute or two when the car is on and warming up.
Good luck, a quick examination of the exhaust is never a bad thing to do. i doubt its exhaust related but if its coming from the rear end for sure, id be willing to bet its more than likely the fuel pump.

nice boyfriend, did you notify him that we have sponsers to the right
seriously though when you get a chance, check the pulleys, both belts too. i thought my problem was orginiating somewhere out in the back of the car, and after i checked the belts and pulleys, thats where it ended up being. **** orchastrates throughout the entire car.
btw just for the record, a wahman behind the wheel of a F-body = the sexiest thang on earth. i couldn't resist
