Hissing sound between 3.5-5K RPMs...

As the title says, I hear a pretty distinctive hissing sound like rolling on a tire that just got a hole in it around 3 to 5K RPMs... My exhaust manifold/gasket leaking? I don't here this noise while the car is running and idling...

Update: After some daylight, the issue was easy to find. The flange in front of the catalytic converter is loose, allowing exhaust to escape. .. Glad it is a simple fix.
