Default Playing Cards in Spokes sound near rear of engine

Hey folks,

I'm having a sound akin to playing cards in bike spokes coming from the trans tunnel area near the rear of the engine (by my feet). I did not notice this until I did the auto to M6 swap, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there before and I just didn't notice.

Is this common from an aftermarket clutch? Maybe an exhaust leak? Headers? Collectors? Any easy way to check for exhaust leak?

Thanks everyone.

Look for an exhaust leak. This is not a normal clutch noise...ever.

Check to see if something is hitting the flywheel.
