Could you define bottom out?

The sound seems like the engine itself. I opened the hood and started it up and it sounds fine. Seems to only make the noise when I hit the accelerator, in park,drive and Overdrive (more in this mode than anything). Dont think its my tranny though.

Best way I can describe it is like I have a V8 vs a V4. (mines a V6 but that helps exaplain a bit better) The engines roar is just much louder. My wipers slow down now when I get into reverse leading me to believe my catalytic converter is somehow effected.
