What the hell is this Vibration You Tube

Hi guys, I have a 1997 Toyota RAV4 with the 3SFE engine. Lately I've picked up a vibration that I can decyfer what it is. Before I break my neck. I hope one of you guys can help. I've even posted it on You Tube to see if some one comes forward and tell me what it is. Please listen before it jumps from 120 HP to 180 HP you can hear it. If you get a set of Head Phones you can here is better. Here is the link to You Tube. When I was doing this run. I was testing the Scan Gauge II. You can see the reading, and also the sound. I need help guys before something breaks at speed.

Found it. Looks like the flex pipe was just too long. When excelarating the 3SFE engine, it started to vibrate like a mother. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Let me explain. That little gauge that you see is a ScanGaugeII. At that time, it was installed and not set. The engine that is was measuring was a 3.0cc. The RAV4 is a 2.0cc. (1998cc) So their is a slight error on behave of the gauge. BTW, the vibration was the header that had to be redesigned.
