Hard to describe the sound in words, but when I hit the throttle hard, there's a squealing noise that sounds like it's coming from the drive side. Any ideas?
 
failing drive belt
failing belt tensioner pulley assembly
failing rear wheel bearings
failing front engine isometric mount assembly
loose/cracked/header assembly
loose/ broken front muffler mount assembly.....or worn bushings for same....or broken/missing mount-to-engine case bolt
there's your short list of potential culprits to start checking.
