From the video it sounds like you have an exhaust leak. Get a flashlight and look around the exhaust manifold for black marks where the exhaust manifold bolts to the cylinder head and check for cracks. A stud could have broken off. If you can take off the exhaust manifolds heat shield you should do so you can get a better view. I would also check where the exhaust manifold bolts to the cat.
