Rumble noise upon acceleration-clutch? Engine mount?

[shooorn94]

Since wednesday when I filled up I have been getting a strange rumbling noise, at first I though nothing of it. But upon changing gears and then climbing through the revs (at a guess around 1.5-2.5k rpm) there is a rumble noise, I presumed it was the exhaust making the noise however both times I have been out in the car it has been dark so will check tomorrow.

I did give it a few revs when i got home tonight at different rpm to see whether it was the exhaust however it did not make the noise at all until I pulled the clutch up midway to pull onto the drive and then giving it a few revs. Need to be out in the car more to distinguish the noise better as I've only been out in short trips.

It is always after changing gear and climbing through the revs, anyone help? I'll give a better description tomorrow when I've gone on a test drive.

Will do, hoping if it is the engine mount it'll only be the lower mount

Stupid expenditure on top of christmas, will try to get a video of the noise in a bit.

Edit after a drive: Just been out for a small drive and it seems it's more of a whistle than a rumble, and more than likely coming from the cat, I know the downpipe/manifold needs a little tighten so will see if that sorts it on tuesday.

Engine did rock a bit when giving the engine a few revs but not excessively-same sort of rock it has always had.
