Thanks,

 

what do you have done to the car? do you notice any difference in vibration or power once you pass that point? aka feel sluggish etc?

 

It feels kinda sluggish, I really DONT pass that point. But I did once or twice, feels a bit sluggish I beleive

 

i remeber this dude who had a leak in his exhaust manifold and his car sounded a lot like that

 

hmm, I don't think the noise is coming from my exhaust, my car idles loud as ****, and then that grinding noise is just ..

 

i would guess bearings

 

Bearings for sure.
Friend's of mine car made the same noise. I'd rather not drive the car if you care about this engine. If not save money for the next one/

 

So how much would this cost to fix?

 

Take it to mechanics ASAP, don't drive if you don't have to. If you didn't fucked up your crank it would cost bearings+labour or maybe some machine work to polish the crank.
Bearings 100$, but I don't know how much is labour in the States.

 

Well, the soonest I can have it taken to a mechanic is saturday, I have to drive it to and from work, I don't drive it over 3k rpm's tho..

 

rod knock for sure
