Thanks to both for your insights. A few things worth mentioning include:
The car has 6000 miles so I'm not sure it could be characterized as not yet broken in. If its not broken in at 6k then when? The manual lists a break-in period < 2000 mi, I considered 3k a reasonable caution period with probably 6k to be the upper bound.
I thought about the SAI pump as a good possibility after reading some posts in the archives (it all makes sense), but I thought this component was phased out in 2004 or so (according to at least 1 post). Anyone know for sure? Also, the growl I'm referring to is not coming from the pipe, its coming from (or at least it APPEARS to be coming from) within the rear portion of the valve cover area on the right (passenger) side of the engine. This is why I thought it might have something to do with the chains and/or tensioners because they are on that side of the engine.
Perhaps I need to get an indy to check it out (where I can actually have a conversation with a mechanic about the issue rather than talk at a "service bouncer"). ;)
